You’d think people visiting a film festival such as Sundance would be pretty open and liberal, but it appears that’s not always the case, as there have been reports of people walking out of the much buzzed about Other People during a gay sex scene featuring Breaking Bad and Friday Night Lights star Jesse Plemons. In the movie, Plemons stars as a gay man who moves back in with his mother to look after her as she dies of cancer.
When informed by Vanity Fair of people leaving during his sex scene with Zach Woods, he says, “What? That’s too much… I’d love to talk to them and figure out what it was about that scene that made them leave.”
Indeed, the scene is reportedly not particularly explicit so it would appear it’s the gay-ness the walk-outs objected to.
Plemons was also inevitably asked about the ‘challenge’ of filming a gay sex scene, with the actor displaying more understanding of modern equality than the interviewer, saying “It’s a little weird, but in some ways it’s less weird than doing a straight sex scene, because we’re both nervous and freaked out.”
Take a look at the interview below.
