Yeah for sure he needs that big breakout, the point is why he hasn’t had that yet


I’m not sure about that. So many leading actors have the same great body and that actually is a big plus, not a problem. Think of Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt. The “beefcake” has been around for ages and that’s big part of how Hollywood works

Except all of them were the main leads in big franchise movies, for which Zane would never be considered for because he is gay and those other men are not (at least publicly). The beefcake stereotype exists mostly to swoon female audiences. And in the minds of Hollywood execs, women would not swoon over someone they know is gay, so all those straight beefcake roles are unavailable for Zane, which leaves him little else to work with.

Yeah but it’s ridiculous in 2024 gay men cannot play male leading parts yet. We live in an over “pc” world where actors don’t get chosen because of talent anymore, but because they’re social cases. And when an actor has all the right cards to have a successful career he gets discarded because of his homosexuality. Again it’s 2024,, what’s even straight or gay anymore?

what i find ridiculous is people thinking that because it's 2024 the world is super accepting and gay actors should have a much easier time landing gigs, especially big main character blockbuster gigs.
there's like 200 countries in the world and only about 30 with legalized same sex marriage. and marriage equality is literally only the tip of the iceberg, because it doesn't mean shit if the country hasn't passed any other laws to protect the lgbt community. not to mention countries with lgbt laws are still faced with plenty of opposition.
there's still countries that demand any movie that has any form of lgbt representation for it to either be censored or fully removed or they won't show the movie.
studio execs don't just think about what the liberal american audience wants to see. they gotta think what the conservative american audience want to see and what the audiences outside the u.s want to see. and those execs are, for the most part, old people, and a lot of them still have the mindset that a gay man can't lure in a female audience as a heartthrob and can't lure in a male audience as someone they aspire to be.
this type of discussion has been ongoing for like a decade and hardly anything has changed. and in another decade, maybe things will be slightly better, but it'll still be the same. so it's just the same conversation over and over again

yeah, you discuss shit, without any knowlege, wasting other people's time

First of all, as an American I tell you one thing: we don’t care about the rest of the world. Maybe we should, but executives will never make a movie and worry because foreign countries won’t buy it. If there’s one thing we know how to do is to live in our own small bubble and pretend there’s nothing outside our borders. Also in Hollywood they don’t give a shit about conservative Americans. Do you really think if executives cared about the “middle” American they would have released stuff like Black Panther or Bridgerton? The only thing that has a value in Hollywood is money. They will do whatever people want to see for money. That’s why today there’s so much inclusion and diversity in movies and shows. It’s all about social propaganda. The world is overly sensitive and Hollywood uses that vibe in its own favor trying to get money out of people. So since we have old British royalty played by black actors why can’t we have a gay “decent” actor playing a leading man part?

Because it's kinda half luck tbh. Getting a role on a hit show is not often something you can necessarily plan for or predict. It's determined by the audience/ratings, despite what the showrunners or actors think will actually happen or how good the show is.

The closest he's got to that was Fire Island but that was way too niche and frankly "gay" to really lead to mainstream success unfortunately.

 

[Ryland Grace]

Oh maybe, with any luck, he will be like Glen Powell who spent his time in supporting or extra roles and thanks to Top Gun his career took off.

Which one do you go to? I live in WeHo. I’m not a member of Equinox, but if there’s a chance for me to meet Zane Phillips switching gym maybe I’ll do it hahahahahah

That's not true at all. Hollywood has a history of bending over backwards and catering to Chinese censors in order for films (particularly the blockbusters) to be released there...hence the lack of gay content in so many big-budget movies.

Idk, talking about "overly pc" and casting actors because they're "social cases" doesn't sound like brainy talk. I mostly just wanted to steer the convensation away from that and the implications that come with it.

Some Zane to keep it ot
