Often when a singer/artists comes out, it’s very noticeable that their openness about their private lives doesn’t transfer to their music videos. If it’s a love song, they either have to pretend to be straight in the promos or they sing while a boy and a girl act out a hetero story.
That’s not true of out actor and singer Cheyenne Jackson, whose new video for Don’t Wanna Know is in no doubt that he’s warbling about a guy. And the good news for us if that Cheyenne is always gorgeous to look at, and he gets to ogle a lot more hotties as he wanders around New York. Plus the song ain’t bad.
We love Jackson, who’s a big name on Broadway but has never had the on-screen success he deserves, despite appearances in the likes of United 93, Glee and Hysteria. Even 30 Rock underused him in his semi-regular role as Danny. Next year he has two gay-friendly roles in the ensemble comedy Mutual Friends, and as the wonderfully named Billy Leatherwood in Steven Soderbergh’s Liberace biopic, which also features Michael Douglas and Matt Damon. Hopefully they will help him break out as a real screen star.
Enjoy the new video above.
