Scott Evans opens up about that time he was accidentally outed by his brother Chris
Barbie movie, in which the out actor stars as a yeehaw-ified version of the Ken Doll.Greta Gerwig’s big-screen adaptation of America’s favorite doll represents a major blockbuster moment for the younger Evans brother whose had an active career mostly on television, and particularly in soaps with his years-long run on ABC’s One Life To Live.Yes, it’s the Summer Of Scott, and Evans is kicking things off with a splashy new cover story for Attitude Magazine.A post shared by Scott Evans (@scottevansgram)The accompanying photoshoot in a pretty, pink Barbie-style dreamhouse is great, but what makes the feature extra special is that it’s a conversation between Evans and fellow Boston-ite, Jujubee, the Drag Race legend who just so happens to have some history with the actor.As it turns out, the pair first met back in 2000 when they were working at a summer arts camp—well before Jujubee donned a wig and became Jujubee—and then would frequently bump into each other at the Boston gay bar Axis when she was just a baby queen.Jujubee on the recent wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation: “It’s all this strange, choreographed dance.
And none of them are good dancers—everybody’s really off beat!” Anyway, thanks to their long-standing friendship, Evans isn’t afraid to get personal and opens up easily when asked about his coming-out journey.As he remembers, he told his older sister first, then his mom, then his younger sister, and then his brother, Chris: “I was very fortunate that I didn’t have any kind of drama or shock,” Evans remembers.
