I spent the afternoon imagining him kneeling in prayer

I don't know why, but I laughed when I saw his character putting his tighty whities on a clothes line in his closet

I'm honestly amazed that two fairly established and popular actors agreed to do a show like this.

A show like what? It's a big budget period drama that's well written and beautifully filmed, and will probably get nominated for loads of awards. Acting wise it gives them far more opportunities to impress than Bridgerton or Magic Mike ever could. Neither is in danger of being typecast ( apart from being ridiculously good-looking) and doing something considered daring will no doubt boost their reputations.

Thank you for the High Res pics.

Jonathan is absolutely stunning beautiful looking man but......when he leaves his stumble beard growth like in these pics MY GOD he drives me wild with that look

Thank for saying exactly what I was thinking. I too was confused by that reply

so many HUGE straight actors have done extremely graphic straight sex scenes and they're still super popular....

Recently? No not really really. This might have been the case in the 80s and 90s, but not since the last decade. You rarely ever see straight actors in gratuitous sex scenes anymore.

If the writing is good the show would do well without the sex scenes.

You DO know which website you're on don't you??? It ain't PuritansAreUs!
From what we've seen so far, the sex scenes are not explicit at all. They're certainly not gratuitous and use intimacy to explore a decades long relationship in ways that haven't been explored with gay characters on a mainstream drama. Back in the fifties, probably the only place these characters could feel safe to be themselves and talk honestly (or not) would be alone together in bed. The actors are on record saying those intimate conversations were their favourite scenes to film. If they're happy, why would anyone else have a problem with it?

What a terrible take!

JB actually feels like such a trailblazer to me. Like he feels like someone who is really going to change the game when it comes to gay actors finally breaking down those barriers for good

i really hope so, also from producers, musicians, staff members and even Ariana Grande he's gettin praised for wicked i hope he gets a nomination at the oscars

I'm not complaining. I just find it bewildering that they agreed to do this when they aren't some random 20 year-olds looking for a big break.

But that implies that there's something wrong with appearing naked on screen or on stage, and only someone desperate to raise their profile would do such a thing. There can be perfectly legitimate artistic reasons for getting naked, and as long as nobody's being coerced and are comfortable doing so, why should it be damaging to their career? These roles wouldn't work with very young actors anyway unless you recast it every decade.

This person is baffling for sure. Plenty of well established actors do sex scenes too, in both mainstream and indie films alike. That's perfectly normal? and has been for years?

Just this year multi award winner, critically acclaimed Ben Whishaw had a VERY explicit gay sex scene in the movie Passages (much more explicit than FT even). And that film was a very well crafted well written indie movie, not some low budget dirty flick or anything. This is such a misunderstanding of sex on film, My god!

 

[mattthebruinsfan]

A person doesn't have to believe there's something wrong with appearing naked on screen or stage to be worried about the effect it could have on their career. Hell, Chris Evans stopped taking his shirt off in most roles when he wanted to be taken more seriously as an actor.

It’s a shame that the script is so bad and that Matt is such a terrible actor… because they’re both insanely hot (Jonathan is basically my dream man) and the sex scenes are incredible.

Interesting. They’re both doing wonderfully but if we’re going to compare, I’d say Bailey is coming off a little forced.

You've seen literally the 1st episode and they're both still feeling out the characters. Captain Picard felt forced most of season one and SPS is a Broadway legend. There is no need to be so judgemental or down on something without giving it a chance

Easy there. Not being down. I’m thoroughly enjoying my experience and their performances. Simply sharing my two cents since someone made a comparison comment.
