He also thought a cake decorated to look like Amy Winehouse's corpse was a cute idea right after her death, so he can forever fuck off.

I knew it was going to be terrible, but when I saw the picture of it I was downright disturbed.

It was so much worse than anything I could've imagined in my head, jfc

He’s rich, white and been famous for a while and has Ryan Murphy on speed dial if he needs work so I don’t expect him to care/advocate for casting opportunities.

can't wait to hear how straight people feel about this!!!

There's an argument to be had about why gay roles should be afforded to actors of all sexualities (especially to protect closeted actors from being pressured into coming out so they can play lgbt characters) but this...................... ain't it.

[missjersey]

Exactly.

This is..... not the take. Ever.

Is it sexy because it's like inverse straight acting? Like instead of a gay guy that acts straight it's a straight guy that acts gay?
