How Brad Pitt’s perfectly sculpted butt awakened James Scully’s inner homosexual
Is there anything in Hollywood more powerful than Brad Pitt’s buns?They’ve already given us so much to be grateful for and now, it turns out, we can also thank them for helping dreamy Fire Island‘s James Scully realize he was gay.As one of the many, many crush-worthy stars in the queer rom-com, Scully plays Charlie, a human Golden Retriever, and the object of Howie’s (Bowen Yang) affection, whose sweet demeanor and willingness to laugh at everything make him easy to fall for.In a charming new interview with Thrillist, Scully reminds us that, in the not too distant past, movies like Fire Island were practically unheard of, with positive depictions of queer people in mainstream media few and far between.“There wasn’t a lot of explicitly queer stuff,” he shares, “so I do feel like I was just grabbing little breadcrumbs from movies and shows when I could.” A post shared by James N Scully (@scullynjames)Surely that’s a sentiment many of us born in the ’90s and earlier can relate to.
And, speaking of relatability, Scully goes on to reveal that he found it pretty impossible to deny his queerness any longer after first seeing Brad Pitt’s behind in the 2004 historical epic, Troy.
Oh, honey, we’ve all been there.“That was definitely a moment where I was like, ‘Yep. I am attracted to beautiful men, for sure.
No more uncertainty about that,'” Scully jokes.“I guess you could argue that the abundance of mostly nude, hot men in that film makes it a little queer.
