Omar Apollo reveals the “somber, horny” inspirations of gorgeous new song & video for ‘Queer’

Queer, an adaptation of author William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical novel.As it turns out, Guadagnino had his team slide into Apollo’s DMs to ask him about taking a small part in the film, which he was more than happy to oblige even though he had no prior acting experience.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.The story of American writer Lee (Daniel Craig) wasting away in Mexico City in 1950 who becomes infatuated with a younger ex-pat (Drew Starkey), Queer only momentarily shifts its focus to Apollo’s unnamed local, who catches Lee’s eye in the middle of a crowded bar.Daniel Craig sings the praises of his “beautiful” co-stars Omar Apollo & Drew Starkey.sBut, as you may have heard, the singer-songwriter still makes quite an impression with limited screen time—due in no small part to the intimate, erotic scene he shares with Craig.

tv film Entertainment carol ‘May December’ scene-stealer Cory Michael Smith has a heartbreaking secret in this gay holiday movie
May December, the latest from celebrated filmmaker Todd Haynes, hit Netflix last week, it was basically a gay holiday.Back in the ’90s, the out filmmaker was one of the leading voices in the New Queer Cinema movement, and basically every time he releases a new film—from glam-rock saga Velvet Goldmine to sapphic romance Carol—it’s an event.The fact that this one happened to promise a showdown, of sorts, between high-caliber actresses Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman, plus a showcase for the breathtakingly hunky Charles Melton, brought our excitement to a fever pitch.Of course, on the surface, there’s not much that’s textually “queer” about May December and its story of an actress (Portman) observing the life of Gracie (Moore), a woman she’ll be playing in her next film role—a woman who, years earlier, went to prison for her relationship with a minor and then had his baby, a la real-life tabloid subject Mary Kay Letourneau.But gay viewers were pretty immediately drawn to one character in particular: Gracie’s son Georgie, from her marriage prior to the scandal. Clearly still hurting from his mom’s actions, he’s something of a “chaos agent” in just a few short but memorable scenes—and while it’s not plainly stated that Georgie is queer, he does reference giving his friend a h*nd j*b, so…In any event, Georgie is played by out actor Cory Michael Smith, perhaps best known for playing Edward Nygma, a.k.a.
