hubbub around the missionary position in Red, White & Royal Blue—yes, straights, we gays do it, too!—the charming queer rom-com is actually pretty tame when it comes to sex and nudity.Oh, sure, there’s talk of hard-ons and allusions to blowjobs (remember Alex and Henry’s first hook-up scene when the movie inconspicuously cuts to a shot of the highly phallic Washington Monument?), but outside of the aforementioned face-to-face bottoming moment, the movie’s rather chaste considering its R-rating.However, we do get a couple fleeting glimpses of bare bum, with Taylor Zakhar Perez’s Alex showing off his plump posterior when White House Chief Of Staff Zahra (Sarah Shahi) hilariously stumbles in on the First Son and Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) after another night together.Look, we don’t know why we’re reminding you—we’re sure you remember.
The tush was tush-ing! But it happens just before the scene below:Once you get past that perfect curvature of those cheeks, you may notice something we don’t often see in movies, gay or otherwise: *ss hair!
Yes, Zakhar Perez went au naturale and showed off his hirsute heinie, a small but notable decision that queer viewers are commending—and otter-lovers are particularly pleased with.But it almost didn’t happen—Zakhar Perez apparently debated shaving before his big rump reveal in the film.
