Luke Macfarlane

‘Platonic’ Star Luke Macfarlane on Turning Down ‘Barbie,’ ‘Bros’ Disappointment and Bias Against TV Comedy

There’s a long tradition of films that don’t kill it in the box office but stand the test of time, and I believe Bros will be like that.


I kinda think that too, I hope that BROS becomes a sort of cult movie and makes enough money for Universal to cover its costs.

I was telling someone recently that I could see you in Chris Evans roles.


I appreciate it. From your lips to whoever’s ears because that really is the thing I want more than ever. I love doing action. I really do. I can’t dance, but I can learn a fight sequence really well.

I would absolutely LOVE to see him in an action role especially as a gay character. I have been dying to see gay leads in action or fantasy for ages now. At least we had a horror one debut earlier this year even though I thought Knock at the Cabin was kinda dull. But yeah Luke as a action hero would be awesome

yeah the closest we got is KillJoys. which was really entertaining
 
Glad to hear he kept his foot in the door for that job opportunity/revenue stream. He's practically unique in being an openly gay actor who still gets multiple straight romantic lead roles, so he shouldn't give up that niche.
Exactly. the horny crowd here often don't care for his Hallmark work since he usually isn't playing gay nor showing much skin but actors are always happy to get steady work and Luke can live comfortably by continuing to partner with Hallmark like this.

I also love that he is openly gay and getting to play str8 romantic leads so often like you said. That's so encouraging giving Hollywood's history (and very rare) but people here really take that for granted typically. But I wanna see even more of that tbh

...Luke Macfarlane has confirmed that recent rumors about his possible return to Hallmark are, indeed, true.
He's been getting tagged on Insta recently by someone working on Hallmark filming...I think the movie is called "Fall Swap". Spotted him playing cello in one of them.
 
In the unlikely event that another R-rated gay rom-com starring Luke gets made in the next decade, I vote for Jonathan Bailey or Rick Cosnett being cast opposite him rather than Bennett.
I only brought up Bennett since they're both Hallmark gays
