What if you and you best friend started dating each other’s mums? Yep, I’m betting you’re thinking that’s not a good idea (particularly because if you’re a typical BGPS reader you’re a gay man – oh, and the mum thing of course). However that’s the basic idea behind Adore.

Now some new pics from the film have been revealed that focus of the movie’s young men, Xavier Samuel & James Frecheville, and getting their shirts off.

Based on Doris Lessing’s novel, Lil (Naomi Watts) and Roz (Robin Wright) are two lifelong friends. Their young adult sons (Frecheville, Samuel) have also developed a friendship as strong as the one between their mothers. One summer, all four are confronted by simmering emotions that have been mounting between them, and each find unexpected happiness in relationships that cross the bounds of convention.

The film is out September 6th in the US. [Read more…]

Tom Cullen got a lot of fans thanks to his starring role in the LGBT hit Weekend, and now he’s going to get a lot more as he’s joined the cast of Downton Abbey. He’s playing Lord Gillingham, who is rumoured to be the new love interest of the widowed Lady Mary.

Ahead of his debut in the show, he’s become the latest cover star for gay mag Attitude, who took a very sexy shot of the 28-year-old to splash on the front, which you can see above.

They also chatted with the actor, who talked about how great it was to work with legends such as Maggie Smith and Shirley Maclaine. He says, “It’s kind of surreal, though, being in a room with Maggie Smith and Shirley MacLaine. I’m like, ‘What the hell is going on?’

“The thing about Maggie is, because she’s been doing this for so long, she knows how to get the best out of a scene and she doesn’t take any bull****.

“At the same time, she’s just the most humble woman and she’s so, so funny. Honestly, Maggie makes me wee out of my eyes!”

It’s been two years since James Franco’s made Sal, shooting it in a ridiculously quick nine days, but it’s been on the shelf since then. However it’s finally heading to US cinemas in November, and The Advocate and Queerty have gotten hold of some images from the movie and the set, which you can see above and below.

Mineo is famed for his roles in the likes of Rebel Without A Cause, Giant and The Longest Day, and while he did have some relationships with women, in the late 60s he became one of the first Hollywood actors to ever acknowledge he was gay. Tragically in 1976, while he was living in San Francisco playing a bisexual burglar in the stage comedy, P.S. Your Cat Is Dead, he was murdered in what is believed to be a robbery gone wrong (reports Mineo was trying to solicit his killer for sex are unfounded).

Not too much is known about the movie, although it’s believed to concentrate on the last days of Sal’s life. Val Lauren plays Mineo, with Franco taking a supporting role as Milton Kaselas, the director of the play Sal was starring in before he died. And from the evidence of these images, it appears Mineo does a lot of working out in the film.
