Jonathan Bailey

The thing about Luca Guadagnino is he has a history of projects falling apart, projects being cancelled or just losing interest in them. I don't expect his version of this remake with Austin Butler as Bateman to go forward, meaning I'd love to see a different director get their shot and maybe Jonny can sneak in.
As an aside, I would loooove to see Jonny redo the threeway scene in AP but with two hungry thicc bottoms. And I don't even necessarily need a film as an excuse to see that. :laughing:

This is my second reply to this post of yours.

I doubt that Luca would cast Jonathan, a gay actor, in his movies. He didn't in Call Me By Your Name.

Why?

I notice a pattern here of gay movies directed by gay directors : gay actors aren't cast in the gay roles.

Examples :

  1. Broken Hearts Club - 2000
  2. Stonewall - 2015
  3. Call Me By Your Name - 2017
  4. Love, Simon - 2018
  5. Red, White And Royal Blue - 2023

i would dispute that in two of those movies, half of the gay characters are played by queer actors (one is out and the other is semi-closeted... like everyone knows but he's keeping his private life secret)
 
We know Jonathan will look fine af in this new movie but until it comes out, what are your top 3 films or TV shows where he looked THE BEST to you?
