Real O’Neals’ Noah Galvin Offers A Big Apology For Comments About Colton Haynes & Bryan Singer

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

The Real O’Neals star Noah Galvin has had to do a pretty quick apologising act following the publication of an interview in which he threw major shade at the likes of fellow gays Colton Haynes and Bryan Singer. It would appear he wasn’t quite used to how widely his words would spread and the comment they’d cause that now he’s the star of a network TV show, and that his intention completely backfired.

During an interview with New York Magazine’s Vulture.com, Galvin criticised Haynes’ coming out, saying he was “the worst”, and “That’s not coming out. That’s fucking pussy bullshit. That’s like, enough people assume that I sleep with men, so I’m just going to slightly confirm the fact that I’ve sucked a dick or two. That’s not doing anything for the little gays but giving them more masturbation material.”

He also took a swipe at Bryan Singer, saying, “Bryan Singer likes to invite little boys over to his pool and diddle them in the fucking dark of night.”

Not content with that he also called out Eric Stonestreet’s portrayal of the gay Cam on Modern Family, saying, “He’s playing a caricature of a caricature of a stereotype of stereotype on Modern Family. And he’s a straight man in real life. And as hilarious as that character is, there’s a lack of authenticity.”

Colton Haynes certainly wasn’t impressed, posting on Instagram:

Galvin also soon apologised, with a two part Twitter message, where he suggested he was naive and had no right to say a lot of what he said. He also seems to have realised that what he said about Singer was potentially libellous:

Modern Family – Season 3 (Blu-ray)

October 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, Sofia Vergara
Director: Various
Running Time: 504 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 1st 2012

Before Modern Family came along, a lot of TV pundits were all ready to pronounce the death of the US sitcom. Then the series came along, became a darling of the critics and found huge audiences too. It’s managed to keep up the quality through its first three seasons, so that just a few days ago it picked up five Emmys.

It’s a great show, where strong writing and good direction come together with one of the best casts ever assembled for a television show. The acting really is top notch (it’s notable that when Julie Bowen and Eric Stonestreet won their Emmys for the show, they had to beat out four of their castmates, who were nominated in the same categories) and it’s not just the adults, as the kids are all great too. Much of the time with sitcoms, you’re sort of having to forgive the younger cast members their lack of comic skill, but here they’re all great – even four-year-old Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who plays Lily, has her moments.

Golden Globes Hit By Anti-Gay Protest – But Christopher Plummer & Modern Family Aren’t Impressesed

January 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While acceptance of gay people is far from 100% in the UK, we have got to the point where anti-gay people almost seem silly and twee with their backwards attitudes. That’s not so in the US, where the culture wars are still raging to a massive extent, to the point where a group of anti-gay protesters decided to set up shop opposite the Golden Globe Awards yesterday, according to THR.

That didn’t impress most of those in attendance. Christopher Plummer, who won a Golden Globe for playing an elderly gay man in Beginners, told reporters “Gay characters are human beings. We’re all exactly the same. Gays are part of our society and have been since the Egyptians, the Greeks; it is part of the human condition. I know there’s an awful lot of anti-gay feeling right now, particularly at this moment, and I abhor it.”

Eric Stonestreet, star of TV’s Modern Family also had something to say to the protesters, commenting to them, “You’re an idiot. America is a great place, speech is free and you’re able to expose the fact that you’re an idiot.”

Fellow Modern Family actor Julie Bowen said backstage, “I come from a long line of straight, white Republicans who don’t like people like this,” she said, motioning to openly gay co-star Jesse Ferguson. “But even they like this show. In country clubs all across America, the doors are cracking open.”

Let’s hope that’s true.
