Nicholas Hamilton: From depressed Outback teen to curious superhero, gay actor into exotic cocktails and girls. With n*de photos

 

 The n*de celebrity subreddit posted some photos of actor Nicholas Hamilton. 

Never heard of him, but according to Wikipedia,  he is gay, and came out at age 18.  So researching this guy will be easy: I just need to answer the third question in my profile: has he played any gay characters?

But doubtless someone who has been out since he started in show business will choose only gay roles.  Why would he want to play a straight character?

More bio: Nic was born in 2000 and grew up in Alstonville, New South Wales about 2 1/2 hours south of Brisbane.  His first acting role was Elvis Presley in a grade school play.  He decided on an acting career after his uncle died of cancer in 2011. 

His on-screen career begins with an episode of the Australian teencom The Mako Mermaids (2013) and a lot of shorts:

Time (2013): A boy is bullied due to his belief in time travel.

The Streak (2013): In spite of the misleading title, not about streaking, about a man who wants to honor the memory of his dead father by ending his evil uncle's "cricket streak."  So I guess Uncle always beat Dad at the game of cricket?

Jackrabbit (2013): A boy in the Outback has an abusive father.

There are lots more, but I'm fast-forwarding to Nic's full-length movies:

Strangerland (2015): a teenager (Nic) and his sister disappear in the Outback.  So, like Picnic at Hanging Rock?  

"There is a stillness in the air, and I'm in it. There are no sounds, no whispers, no shadows, no darkness. And just for a moment, there is no 'you', no 'me'. And I'm not lost."

Sounds like he's into the sister

Captain Fantastic (2016): in spite of the misleading title, it's not about superheroes, it's about a family living off the grid because they want to be critical thinkers or something.  Nic plays one of the children.

It (2017) and It: Chapter 2 (2019): Nic plays Henry Bowers, a sadistic bully who torments the Losers Club.  Turns out that he's the puppet of the transdimensional being known as It.  In the original novel, he's bisexual, doing things with a boy and a girl, but this does not occur in the movie.

In 2018, Nic graduate from high school and came out. Now we'll see the gay roles, right?

Endless (2020): High school graduates are separated by a tragic accident, one goes to limbo, and the other finds a way for them to get together again.  So, Orpheus and Eurydice?   It's heterosexual high schoolers played by Nic and a girl. 

In spite of the misleading title, the tv series Action Royale is not a spy spoof: A teen (Nic) starts an underground e-sports ring to pay off his father's gambling debts. He gets a girlfriend.

Brave the Dark (2023): High schooler Nate (Nic) is "engulfed by darkness" due to "traumatic childhood memories."  He's taken in by his drama teacher in 1973 and 1986.  None of the reviews mention gay characters.

Three movies, all straight?  Let's hope you do a better job of LGBT representation in your tv shows, buddy.

A 2020 episode of Love, Victor, about a gay guy trying to come out. Rahim (Anthony Keyvan) makes a date with Charlie (Nic) on a dating app, but when they meet in person, the dude rejects him for being too feminine. 

8 episodes of The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh (2024): An FBI agent is trying to deport the Indian-American family next door.  Then his son (Nic) falls in love with their daughter in a Romeo-and-Juliet thing. 

5 episodes of Gen V (2023-25) an Amazon Prime series about a superhero academy.  Maveric (Nic), who can turn invisible, is dating a girl who can turn into an alpaca (he's into it).  He admits to peeking at both men and women in the shower while invisible, but that's more curioisty than an expression of bisexual identity. Dude is definitely hetero-romantic.

One episode as gay, 14 as straight or straight-ish.  7% is not a great record.

Fate/La Suerte Gay law student is forced into driving a...Scene 8 Big Reveal. With two Oscar dicks and some random butts

 

I was drawn in to the Spanish tv series Fate (2025) on Hulu, but it does not appear among the five or six television series called Fate that premiered in 2024 and 2025.  Finally I found in the IMDB of star Oscar Jaenada: La Suerte: Un Serie de Casualidades (Luck: A Series of Coincidences).

Who was the genius who decided to mistranslate "la suerte" as "fate," and make the show impossible to find?  But it's worth the effort.

Scene 1: David (Ricardo Gómez, left) is trying to memorize passages from his Criminal Law text while driving a taxi through a party district in Madrid.  Suddenly two guys appear with a semi-conscious third, Gordito (Jairo Sanchez) pile in.  Their friend collapsed during dinner.  They order David to drive them to the hospital -- and don't stop for red lights.

At the hospital, Jero (Carlos Bernardino) orders David to keep the meter running -- while he and the nurses rush Gordito inside.  He steals the Criminal Law book so David will have to wait.

Carlos Bernardino played Armand in Jaula De Grillo, a Spanish language version of La Cage aux Folles, aka The Birdcage.

While waiting, David smiles at a hunky ambulance driver.  He can't be gay, can he?  Ricardo Gomez has played gay characters at least three times.  Could this be #4?

Scene 2: An hour later, Jero returns, telling someone on the phone that Gordito has been admitted to the hospital, but he'll be fine.  David wants to be paid, but skittish loose-cannon Jero points out that the taxi is stolen, and blackmails him into driving somewhere to get the money.  I imagine that it's not really stolen, David has just borrowed it to make extra money while studying for his law exam.

Scene 3: The restaurant where they were eating when Gordito collapsed is now closed, but the owner is a close friend, and opens for Jero.  They left in such a hurry that they forgot "the package."  Uh-oh, these guys must be drug traffickers. And could the owner whip up some muffins?

Scene 4:  Now on to the hotel to get the money.  Jero cautions David to not put down Andalusians -- the last guy who tried that got cut in half.  Just kidding -- or not. 

At the fancy hotel, as they walk down the hall, we see a black rooster wandering around for no reason.  Then a hand with tattoos and rings beckons: "Come in, Jero.  You know you want to."  I can't tell the gender of the voice or the hand. Grinnng, Jero tells David to wait outside -- he'll just be a minute.

Scene 5:  David gets tired of waiting and goes in.  I was expecting a hookup, but it's an elegant party.  One guy is stoking on cocaine, and people are lining up to slap a man's bare butt, but otherwise it's subdued.  

Jero introduces David as the guy who saved Gordito, and everyone cheers.  Then he tells David to guard the muffins with his life, and vanishes. This is tremendously surreal.

A guy grabs the muffins, in spite of David's protests, and takes them into the bedroom to present to a shadowy figure in sunglasses.   The muffin guy introduces David as the kid who saved Gordito, and asks "What should we do with him?" That sounds threatening.  Is this like the Spanish Mafia?  

 "Give him a muffin." 

David gets his muffin.  It's not even homemade. 

Scene 6: Figuring he won't be getting paid, David leaves.  The black rooster leads him into another room with a lot of gifts and bottles of booze on a table. And the package they retrieved from the restaurant -- full of money.  Drug money!  I knew it!  He starts to take enough to cover his fee, but is  distracted by the golden bullfighter costume on the bed, and just grabs and leaes.

Down in the cab, he counts -- 300 euros.  But the meter only reads 170.  The rest is stolen!  "Fuck me!" he exclaims -- he's got to return it.  Fortunately, he sneaks in and out of the room without incident.

Scene 7: It's early in the morning.  He gets home just as his elderly parents are leaving for a trip.

He opens the refrigerator  -- meals marked for every day of the week -- feeds the dog, strips to his underwear (whoa, he's hot.  The bulge is not very visible in this screenshot, but check out the shadow), and gazes wistfully at his graduation photo.  

Legal training in Spain requires a bachelor's and master's degree in law, followed by the examen de acceso a la abogacía (Exam for Admission to the Law).  David must be studying for the exam.

Boots: A gay teen and his straight buddy join the Marines. In 1990. With other gay characters, all the beefcake you could hope for, and at least 3 cocks

 

Boots on Netflix, not to be confused with Boots: The Musical or Das Boot , is advertised as the last series by Norman Lear, who produced some of the greatest hip sitcoms of the 1970s: All in the Family, The Jeffersons, One Day at a Time, Maude, Mary Hartman.  It's based on The Pink Marine by Greg Cope, his memoir of joining the Marines as a closeted gay kid in 1990.

My parents all but insisted that I join the army after high school, but I figured that it would be impossible.  Memories of the 1990s, plus gay characters and beefcake -- I'm in. Episode 1, "The Pink Marine":

Scene 1: 1990.  In the recruiting office, Cameron (Miles Heizer) is asked why he wants to be a Marine.  "Um...for freedom and America?"  The real reason: he's being bullied to death. 

Narrating, Cam goes back to the beginning.  Montage of his birth, toddler years, getting beat up, lifting weights, a penis, David Hasselhoff, Medieval knights.  "What if you're not who everybody says you're supposed to be?" 

Mom advises him to be more masculine. Brother Benjy, to not be such a p*ssy.  Getting his head shoved in a toilet at graduation.  Complaining about having to stay closeted.  Sounds like everybody knows you're gay, buddy.

His inner self interrupts and asks him to "stop being afraid, and just be yourself.  Our place is out there."  So you're joining the Marines? I moved to West Hollywood.

Scene 2:  Close up of the shoes of Cameron's only friend, Ray (Liam Oh),  as they eat at an outdoor restaurant. He's going to join the Marines, where they have the "buddy system": if you join with a friend, you stay together.  

"But they don't allow gays in the military."  

"So you'll just  pretend to be straight."  Wait -- does this mean that Ray is straight?  I remember 1980: you didn't come out to any straight person, ever.  If they found out by accident, they would drop you instantly.  

Cameron considers the idea.  He can't afford college, and his only other option is Bismarck, North Dakota (move to West Hollywood?).  Besides, he wants to stay with Ray.

Scene 3: Back to the recruitment office: "Boot camp is a machine that turns boys into men. In 13 weeks you won't even recognize yourself."

"Sounds great.  Let's do it."

Scene 4:  Parris Island, South Carolina. The boot camp bullying begins immediately, as Drill Instructor Knox (Zach Roerig) screams for the recruits to get off the bus. Drill Sergant McKimmon introduces himself --by yelling and insulting them ("a bunch of f*king degenerates).  This triggers Cameron.  Actually, it's starting to trigger me.

They call their "next of kin" to say that they arrived safely.  But they have to follow the script.  A guy who deviates has to do push-ups.

Next come haircuts, punishment for smiling at each other, dinner (forced to retrieve food that he threw away and eat it, gross!) , new uniforms (lots of beefcake).  

Uh-oh, Cam can't find his boots, so he's forced to go barefoot. That must be the reason for the title of the series.

Next, Drill Instructor Knox forces them to run to their bunk room and make their beds fast. He yells at Ray for being Asian, and forces the recruit who stole Cam's boots to do push-ups.

Another recruit flirts with Cam.

Back home, Older Brother is watching a public-domain 1930s cartoon.  Mom was too drunk to notice when Cody mentioned that he was joining the Marines, so she is shocked when she gets his phone message. 

Scene 5: Night.  Cameron sneaks out to go to the bathroom, and finds another recruit pleasuring himself (maybe do it in your bunk under the covers, like every other guy who sleeps in a dorm room?).  He sees Cam watching and calls him a homophobic slur. 

Cam runs back to his bunk and tells Buddy Ray that he made a mistake, he's got to get out of here.  It was an all-purpose slur, Princess -- he didn't really think you were gay.   

"It's hard on everyone," Ray answers. "I got a racist breathing down my neck."  

Scene 6: Drill Instructors Howlitt and Knox come in with trash can lids to wake up the recruits. Ochoa (Johnathan Nieves) gets yelled at for having an erection (not visible on screen).  He may be the one who flirted with Cam.

Cam gets bullied for not shaving properly, and later is asked if he has a girl back home. "She dumped me.  She's a Communist."  

Time for the strength test, which involves sit-ups and running, where he bonds with the fat guy John Bowman (Blake Burt). He joined because it's family tradition.

Next, you have to do at least three pull ups, or you're out.  Cam sees his chance: he pretends that he can't do any, but then he wants to encourage John Bowman, so he does his three, and stays in.   The Drill Sergeant allows them to hug and yell, as  long as they say "ooray" instead of "hooray."

Sebastian Garcia: Jules Verne boy "no es heterosexual," but plays teens with girlfriends. With modeling photos and cocks.

Jules Verne was one of my favorite authors when I was a kid -- Around the World in 80 Days, The Mysterious Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth -- so when I saw  a 2025 Spanish tv series based on 20,000 Leagues under the Sea on Disney Plus, I immediately clicked on it. 

Ulp -- it has nothing to do with the original novel, and it's a sequel, making the plot difficult to follow.  Apparently the descendants of Captain Nemo are guarding the portal to an alternate world called the Verne Dimension, but a ludicrous mustachioed baddie wants in for world-conquesting.  Diego and his buds were trapped there in the last series, and now he's suffering from PTSD.

It was so over-the top amateurish that I couldn't watch, except to fast-forward in search of scenes of gay interest. All I found was Diego, or maybe his lookalike older brother, strung up by the baddie. 

I always check for beefcake photos of the cast before watching, and Sebastián García Huerta, who plays Diego, had several. Here he models his Calvin Kleins on a website called No Soy Heterosexual.

Entonces, eres gay?  

Actor, dancer, singer, and model Sebastian grew up in Mexico City.  He studied dubbing at the Escuela de Doblaje Niños, and began his career as a voice artist in 2019.

Among the actors he has dubbed into Spanish are: Billy Barratt, Logan Kim, Cameron Crovetti, Jeremy T. Thomas, Julian Lerner, Brady Noon, Ezra Dewey, Chase Dillon, and Isaac Ordonez, who you may know as Pericles in Merlina.  

I like those names a lot better than Pugsley in Wednesday.

Sebastian has ten acting credits listed on the IMDB, starting with El Rey, Vicente Fernández (2022), a biopic of "the Mexican music  icon."   Sebastian plays the teenage Vicente, who protects his mother, washes cars, boxes, gets a girlfriend, and sings shirtless. It's on Netflix.

¡Que viva México! (2023). on Netflix, stars Alfonso Herrera, here lying atop his boyfriend in another movie.  A middle class "family man" who goes to bed in silly pajamas while his wife wears a revealing outfit, he returns to his home town to become involved in humorous squabbles about his inheritance.  Apparently there's a transphobic portrayal.  

Sebastian plays the teenage Pancho, shown working in the mines with his grandfather, when they stumble upon a vein of gold.  To ensure that the "lying brat" doesn't tell his Mom and brothers about the treasure, Grandpa kills him! (It turns out to be a dream).

"High Tide": Two guys discover the unrelenting agony of gay life. In Provincetown. With a heck of a lot of nudity

 

I don't usually watch gay-specific movies: they're too angsty, presenting coming out as an unbearable trauma and life after coming out as endless heartache, loneliness, and emptiness.   But High Tide (2024) is set in the gay resort of Provincetown, and it has a lot of n*de photos.  Who can be depressed, lonely, and empty while looking at cocks?  But I'll check out the trailer first, to make sure.

Scene 1: Lourenço (Marco Pigossi) runs onto a deserted beach, takes off his clothes, and jumps into the ocean.  Then, clothed again, he sits on the deserted boardwalk, staring into space, depressed.

Left: Lourenço as a tiny speck in the vast ocean.  The insignificance of human life...

Scene 2: He asks an older guy, "Have you heard from Joe?" 

 The older guy is irate: "You left him!"  So you should never hear from him or about him again?  But in gay communities, ex-lovers are our closest friends. 

Then: "True love is something else!"

 

Lourenço starts to cry.

Scene 3: He sits despondent on the boardwalk again, then meets a cute guy, Maurice (James Bland).  No one has been named Maurice since Samantha's father on "Bewitched."  It must be a homage to the early gay novel by E.M. Forster.  

They splash about on the beach, then sit down with a lady whose boobs are hanging out.  

Lady: "So you're Brazilian.  What do you do?" 

"I clean houses."

Montage of our boy cleaning houses.  This is portrayed as the ultimate in humiliation. 

Left: more beach bunnies.  Seriously, what is there to be depressed about?

Scene 4: Establishing shot of Provincetown, as Lourenço explains that he's here on a tourist visa, so technically he can't work, but he has to, because he needs the money...

The older guy tells him, "You're young and handsome.  You can do anything."

Scene 5: Lourenço and Maurice head to the bedroom and kiss (that's all we see in the trailer).  A review gushes: "Sexy, sad, and just the ticket."

Bryce Gheisar: "Wonder" bully, Nickelodeon astronaut, cursed boy's boyfriend, gay Iranian-American Baha'i bodybuilder

Discouraged over the low pageview count of my profile of Nolan Gould -- it was friggin' Nolan Gould!  With a friggin' hard-on!  -- I wanted a sure-fire thousand-page view draw.  Former teen stars always draw the most interest, so I checked on the teen idol site, and found Bryce Gheisar, with over 1,000 photos! 

No idea who he is.  From the name and general appearance, I'm guessing Turkish.  Probably a singer, since singers tend to draw more fan attention than actors.

I usually profile only actors, but he's got a cute face, a very muscular physique....

And he is obviously gay, with lots of photos of hugging, cuddling, and sleeping with guys.

A basic internet search reveals that Bryce was born in 2004 in Plano, Texas (a suburb of Dallas), not Turkey.  His father owned a fitness gym and is now a realtor, his mother runs a chimpanzee refuge, and his older brother is a gymnast.  

They are Iranian-American, and adherents of Bah'ai, a religion founded in Iran in 1844 by the Prophet Bahá’u’lláh.  It teaches the essential unity of all religions and all people. 

Bryce is an actor, best known as Ethan in A Dog's Purpose and Julian in Wonder.

And I haven't even checked the IMDB or his social media yet. Dude is famous.

He bursts onto the screen in 2017, singing the theme song to the new Duck Tales and starring in three movies.

In A Dog's Purpose (2017), a dog is reincarnated several times over five decades, always ending up with Ethan (Bryce as a kid, KJ Apa as a teen, Dennis Quaid as an adult).

Left: Former Archie Andrews KJ Apa in the shower.

In Wonder (2017),  Auggie (Jacob Tremblay), who has a facial anomaly, attends public school, gets a gay-subtext boyfriend  (Noah Jupe), and draws the wrath of bully Julian (Bryce), who eventually has a change of heart and apologizes.  Owen Wilson (left) plays Auggie's Dad.

Bryce reprised the role of Julian in White Bird: A Wonder Story (2024): his grandmother tells him a story about hiding from the Nazis during World War II, and falling in love (with a boy, of course), thus convincing him to try to be a better person. "Heterosexual romance exists, so stop your bullying!"  Auggie does not appear.

Later Bryce starred in The Astronauts, on Nickleodeon (2021-22): Five kids sneak into a spaceship, and it blasts off!  Grround Control can communicate with them, but otherwise they are on their own, with an AI that can't be trusted. Athletic Elliot (Bryce, right) and science nerd Will (Ben Daon, center) compete to become group leader.  No heterosexual romances are mentioned in the episode synopses, so there are probably some gay subtexts.

In Season 2 of the new Are You Afraid of the Dark (2022), Bryce plays Luke McCoy, a high school wrestler and skateboarder.  His best friend Connor (Parker Queenan) is captured by the Shadowman, and Luke enlists the Midnight Society to help rescue him. According to the fan wiki, "it is heavily implied" that the two have romantic feelings for each other.  Don't beat around the bush: they're canon.

Dylan Everett: The depressed Degrassi teen buddy-bonds with three gay guys, wears tight jeans, joins the army. With a lot of backsides and a Dylan dick.

 I'm not usually into backsides -- I prefer the side with pecs, abs, and beneath-the-belt stuff -- but isn't this the cutest thing?  It belongs to Dylan Everett, then 26, who you probably know as Campbell Saunders on the Canadian teen soap Degrassi: The Next Generation. 

 Cam appears in Season 12 (2012-13) as a "good-hearted, gentle, nice, shy, cool, and sweet" hockey player who rejects an offer of friendship from the gay kid Tristan, for fear of being assumed gay himself, but then apologizes.  They hang out, and he begins dating Tristan's friend Maya.  But anxiety and depression take their toll, and his plot arc ends with suicide.

Born in Toronto in 1995, Dylan began acting in commercials at age ten, and moved into television with The Doodlebops, "the ultimate rock n roll band for kids."   He first played the friend of a gay kid in Breakfast with Scott (2007): a "straight-acting" gay couple (Tom Cavanaugh, Ben Shenkman) become the guardians of a flamboyantly femme boy (Noah Benett).

A lot of teencoms and tv movies followed, notably How to Be Indie (2009-2011): the Indian-Canadian girl has two friends, a teencom standard: Abbie (a girl) and Marlon (Dylan), who according to the fan wiki is "always full of bright ideas," but sometimes annoying.  He wears pants that are so tight, he can't sit down, has a gay-subtext boyfriend, John Lu (Jason Jia), and displays no interest in girls -- obviously gay.  At least until the showrunners decided to queerbait by giving him a girlfriend in Episode 49.

Next the busy teenager simultaneously appeared on
Degrassi and starred in the teencom Wingin' It (2010-13): To earn his wings,  apprentice angel Porter (Demetrius Joyette) must help outcast high schooler Carl (Dylan) become popular.  I'm not sure how much of an outcast Carl is, since he has the standard teencom two friends, Jane and Alex (Brian Alexander White), but most episodes involve crushing on girls, competing with Porter for girls, asking girls out, and so on.  Apparently popularity means having a girlfriend.

Dylan played Mark-Paul Gosselaer in The Unauthorized "Saved by the Bell" Story (2014), himself in Dylan (2015), the young Dean Winchester in three episodes of Supernatural (2013-15), and a heterosexual teenager in Undercover Grandpa (2017).  

He has a nude scene in All About Who You Know (2019): an aspiring screenwriter tries to meet his idol by arranging a romcom-style romance with the guy's daughter. Or you could just call him.

AusCaps has a scene where his friend Austin (Stephen Joffe) wakes up in bed with a guy, and looks surprised but does not recoil in homophobic horror, so maybe he has a gay plotline.

Atticus Mitchell: "My Babysitter's a Vampire," "Stonewall," "Now I can be who I am," and nude photos, but has he done anything gay lately?

 

When I was researching Star Trek, Strange New Worlds, I looked for nude photos of various cast members, and found several of Atticus Mitchell, who played an ensign "scared by a dog" in one episode.  

You are probably more familiar with him as Benny Weir of My Babysitter's a Vampire (2010 movie, 2011-12 tv series):  teenager Ethan (Matthew Knight)  battles demons, zombies, and various paranormal perils with the help of his buddies, Benny (Atticus, left) and Rory (Cameron Kennedy), plus his sister's vampire babysitter. 

Everyone was intensely hetero-horny, but there was a lot of beefcake. Here the guys agree to be sacrificed so an ancient Aztec goddess can be reunited with her boyfriend.  She's not interested in them, and they're going to die, but that's not important.  She's a girl, so whatever she wants, she gets. 

My earlier review of the series pointed out a lot of gay subtexts.  Here Benny distracts Ethan's girlfriend so he can smooch on Rory.  It's probably a behind-the-scenes shot. 

Born in Toronto in 1993, Atticus became interested in acting in elementary school, and performed in four plays while at St. John Elementary School:

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs of the Black Forest

James and the Giant Peach

50 Below Zero

When he graduated to Malvern Collegiate Institute (a public high school, in spite of the ponderous name), Atticus switched to on-screen acting with the teencom How to Be Indie (2009-2011), which is about an Indian-Canadian girl, not indie rock. Dylan Everett (26 years old in this photo) played her best friend.  Atticus played a bully.

Next came Vampire, followed by the teen movie Radio Rebel (2012), about a shy high school girl with a secret identity as an underground radio dj. So she's Hannah Montana.  Atticus plays Gabe, a musician who tries to sneak and snark his way into air time, and his future boyfriend or good buddy Adam DiMarco plays as Gavin, the girl's "love interest."  

Aside from Vampire, Atticus is best known for his role as Mickey Hess on Fargo (2014): he runs a shady trucking company with his dad and brother. No girlfriend, but he is established as heterosexual by playing with a female "sex doll."

I was more interested in the role of Matthew in Stonewall (2015), about the 1969 riots that started the Gay Rights Movement, with Danny (Jeremy Irvine) as a white masculine Saviour from Indiana.  

Problem: Matthew doesn't appear in the synopsis, and I don't recall him from watching.  But surely he's gay.

"Hell of a Summer": Six gay, bi, and "not into labels" guys work together to prove that gay people don't exist. And there's a psycho-slasher.

I haven't reviewed many movies lately because I've been burned several times.  

There are promos of two men gazing longingly at each other, but it turns out that they are about to fight, not kiss.  

There are trailers with guys buddy-bonding and no girls, but when you click "play," you get five minutes of a man and woman in bed.  

There are movies starring 35 gay male actors, and every single one of them is playing a straight guy.  

For example, the summer camp psych-slasher movie Hell of a Summer (2023) just dropped on Hulu with an icon featuring three obviously gay guys staring at a bloody axe.  

When I checked the cast list, I discovered that five of the top seven male cast members are gay or bi in real life.  

Obviously this will be a movie about a group of gay guys fighting a psycho-slasher.

Time to check the trailer.

Scene 1: Jason loves Camp Pineaway so much that he returns year after year.  Now age 24, he gives a "welcome" speech to the new counselors, with the rules: no smoking, no drinking, no cell phones.

Jason is played by Fred Hechinger (top photo and icon left), who is heterosexual but played the "I'm gay but the skittish producers won't let me say so" Emperor Caracalla in Gladiator II.

Scene 2:  The campers haven't arrived yet, so the counselors party.  I don't notice any boy-girl coupling. The extremely femme Chris arrives with his boyfriend Bobby, and yells "Hey, Girl!" at a girl named Shannon.

Chris is played by Finn Wolfhard (icon right), who is "bisexual." Usually this means attracted to men and women, but apparently Finn means attracted exclusively to men but not wanting to say "gay," just in case he may be attracted to a woman in the distant future.

Boyfriend Bobby is played by Finn's real-life boyfriend Billy Bryk (left and icon center).  He is "not into labels," meaning "gay, but afraid to admit it because then people might think he was gay or something."

Finn and Billy are also the writers and directors.  This is their project.

Scene 3: Later, femme Chris kisses Shannon?  WTF?

And brags to boyfriend Bobby that he performed oral sex on her.   Why isn't the boyfriend upset?  Are you a feminine-presenting heterosexual with a gay bestie, Girlfriend?  That's a big gay tease.

Left: Two gay guys to tide you over.  This is going to get rocky.

Maxwell Jenkins: The "Lost in Space" guy and his boyfriend visit Paris, with travel tips and n*de Parisian dudes

 

When I last profiled Maxwell Jenkins, in April 2025,  the former Lost in Space Will Robinson was starring in The Bondsman with Kevin Bacon and majoring in Global Studies at UCLA.  He had a lot of beefcake and guy-hugging photos on his social media, leading me to conclude that he is "probably gay."

The Bondsman is finished, leaving Max free to concentrate on his studies, plus cheerleading and acrobatics.  In August 2025, he posted some cute and romantic photos of his holiday in France with his boyfriend (so we can move from probablement to sans doute)

I've been to Paris several times, so I immediately recognized the Pompidou Centre, an event venue and art museum. in Les Halles. The Krash Bar, two floors of cavernous corridors of hookups, is right around the corner.

Everybody who visits Paris for the first time has to see the Eifel Tower.  After that, you give it a miss

Same with the famous Moulin Rouge in Montmarte. But they have an interesting artists' market nearby, in the Place du Tertre.

Max's boyfriend is Shawn J., a Global Studies major at UCLA who runs the program Refugee Connect, offering direct assistance to refugees around the world.

You're supposed to do that with wine glasses, guys.
