Jeremy Allen White has us in a chokehold with this one-two punch of homoerotic photoshoots
Shameless and now his Emmy-nominated star turn in FX’s The Bear, the actor is having a major moment in the spotlight ahead of this December’s highly anticipated wrestling biopic, The Iron Claw.White will play Kerry Von Erich, part of the real-life wrestling dynasty said to be the subjects of a family curse due to the heartbreaking tragedies that befell them in the ’80s and ’90s.Alongside Zac Efron and Harris Dickinson (Beach Rats), White put on a shocking amount of muscle to become the hulking athlete, which is on full display in the trailer and early images from The Iron Claw.
Maybe it’s the singlets, but the whole thing would seem very homoerotic—if it weren’t for the fact that the guys are all playing brothers.Even though the movie might not deliver on the homoeroticism, White’s the centerfold star of two splashy magazine photoshoots that are definitely leaning in, sending the internet into a frenzy.A post shared by Entertainment Weekly (@entertainmentweekly)First up is an EW digital cover story, which White shares with Efron and Dickinson, looking ruggedly handsome in some nondescript barn.
The accompanying photo spread is so in-your-face MASC that it’s basically camp, showing the trio lounging on hay bales, tending the farm, and eating chicken wings without a napkin in sight (which, unfortunately, is super f*cking hot).Is it hot in here, or is it just this spandex singlet?The interview focuses on the actors’ brotherly bond, which was largely forged as the trained alongside one another at the gym—or packed on the calories at cast dinners.“I was just eating frozen turkey patties and avocados and protein shakes and waffles and almond butter,” says of his extreme bulking diet in preparation for the role.
