Everyone say thank you Russell T Davies for introducing the wider television watching British public to rimming in 1999 and then heavily implying bisexuality is a natural evolution of current human sexuality in 2005 and then making a show where the entire main cast kisses someone of the same gender in 2006. Doing it like no other
Charlie Hunnam is currently promoting Netflix's space fantasy REBEL MOON: PART ONE: A CHILD OF FIRE,
directed by Zack Snyder, from a script by Snyder, Shay Hatten (ARMY OF THE DEAD) and Kurt Johnstad (300 and 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE) starring Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher, Doona Bae and not one, but two GAME OF THRONES Daario Naharises - Michiel Huisman as the frustratingly hard-headed Gunnar and Ed Skrein
as film's Big Bad Admiral Atticus Noble.
Hunnam plays Kai, an Irish (and it's a fairly passing Irish accent, if I may say so myself) mercenary who is recruited by Boutella's Kora on her mission to stop Noble's plan for domination.
While promoting the film, Hunnam spoke with British GQ and the interviewer asked him if he had seen the mention of his QUEER AS FOLK character Nathan Maloney in the 2022 Showtime reboot of the series.
Nathan being fit as hell tracks. Nathan being on Grindr doesn't. He doesn't need the apps. He could pull effortlessly.
While he didn't know about the mention, he did talk about how, during the 25th anniversary of the original, that they were talks of a revival that didn't pan out and that he would love to revisit the character. Which is refreshing because so many actors try to distance themselves from earlier roles.
Unlike Margot Robbie who appeared last year in the finale of the Australian soap NEIGHBOURS, which she was on from 2008-2011.

So good on Charlie for always bigging up his time on the series and, in particular working with Aidan Gillen who he reunited with on Guy Ritchie's KING ARTHUR.
Charlie and QAF - ***NSFW bits***
Never forget when Hunnam dropped out of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY and people speculated that it was due to the nudity and he had to correct the public record real quick.
Stuart Alan Jones was really like "if you won't blow up a homophobe's car then you're straight" and honestly I think we need more of *that* kind of gatekeeping
What do you think about the original UK Queer as Folk?
Russell T Davies has done so much in his career to advance the gay agenda (affectionate and with admiration). He's a trailblazer and a mountain of a man.
Oh! girl! we're getting into some bedrock core memories tonight
okay for the children back back back, when Hulu was started way before Disney was involved. It was free, and it was a bunch of networks that put up basically random shows that you could watch but there were ad breaks. Now this was the dawn of streaming no one had MADE a show for streaming at this point so we thought ourselves very lucky to be able to watch a TV shows whenever we liked
Any ways a friend of mine introduced us to it at a sleep over in high school and I ended up basically stealing the laptop that night and finding really the only TV show in their "Gay and Lesbian" section.
It was Queer as Folk UK, and for some reason they merged together two episodes so season 1 was 4 episodes long rather than 8 which made for somewhat odd viewing
any ways I was up long after everyone else passed out streaming QaFUK with the volume low so as to not walk up all my straight friends with what felt like gay porn
it was amazing, life changing, incredible, Russel T is a hero
