Charles Melton (riverdale)

This can't be true Todd Haynes said that they only saw Korean American actors for this part, Henry Golding is neither Korean nor American

out of topic but is that a fetish or something? because what difference does it make if they're half korean or not, besides, I think the real guy was Samoan

The writer wrote the role to be a Korean American, not just a person with Asian identity. So they cast it specifically as that. I don't know, it makes a whole bunch of difference if you're a Person of Color, the identities/cultures are very different and aren't interchangable.

May December is a work of fiction not a biography, it incorporates just that scandal into one of the scenes, Charles' character isn't based on the Samoan, he's made up by the writer.

Imho, I believe it was a really well done CGI moment. I thought it could’ve been a prosthetic but something about the movement and the interaction with her leg suggests me it’s CGI.
 
omg i just made a joke bc they're both half Asian men in their mid thirties that probably fight for the same roles. That is all ppl
Yep. I actually got your joke at the beginning because I wouldn't be surprised if his agent is shaking or panicking right now since they will be fighting for the same roles. An Oscar nomination would instantly get him a leg up if they are looking for an Asian actor for a lead role. He would still have to audition of course, but it would definitely help his career.

This forum is insane. The movie is fiction, yes, but is based on literal grooming and statutory r***. Why are we concerned what the sex scene looks like???

As for the 40 extra lbs, well, you can tell from my name but I think it's the best he's ever looked. He's maintained an amazing face and paired it with a realistic and extremely hot body he doesn't have to torture himself for.

This forum is insane lol but the sex scene doesn't depict the grooming/rape relationship, it’s with a different character entirely.
 
can yall cut the prosthetic discourse? SAG doesn't allow real frontal nudity much less an erection
I think we'll discuss whatever we wish to discuss. Especially since mainstream actors in nonporn movies of the past have filmed real sex scenes with real intercourse and they survived and are doing well.

It’s a movie, not a porno.

There is no reason for it to be real for the purposes of the film, and I for one would much prefer to offer actors and actresses the safety and comfort of a prosthetic than traumatize them by asking them to do that.

The indie film scene is a different beast, it attracts different sorts of talent who’re comfortable with different things. There’s no place for that kind of stuff on a mainstream Hollywood film set with actors and actresses who’re far less comfortable and willing to do that kind of nudity.
If they are that uncomfortable about having sex in order to accurately portray a role in a movie that revolves around sex maybe they should reconsider their careers then. European mainstream actors and indie films have had real sex scenes as you said and are doing fine, not "traumatized". Sorry, but this was of the weakest counter-arguments to my original comment.

he already said it was a prosthetic so give it up
