Red, White & Royal Blue may have lost the Emmy for Outstanding Television Movie, but at last night’s awards ceremony, star Taylor Zakhar Perez showed us how you stay winning—no matter what.For starters, Perez looked like a million bucks strutting onto the red carpet in a brown, subtly monogrammed Gucci suit that fit every muscle just so.But who was that arm candy by his side?
Why it’s the gorgeous Mama Zakhar—who genuinely looks like she could be his sister! That’s right, he brought his own mother—that’s how you know he’s one of the good ones.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.She must be so proud.
Look at them, they’re both glowing:TZP bringing his mom is everything to me. I'm super close with my son and I love that he has that relationship with his mom #TaylorZakharPerez pic.twitter.com/IM8JsiZSL1Of course, as soon as Perez hit the carpet, everyone wanted a piece of him—and there were plenty of interview moments that got people talking.The 2024 Emmys red carpet was queer AF!Proving he’s always got time for the gays, we were thrilled the actor stopped for a chat with GLAAD.
Though he was careful to share he doesn’t know anything about the already-announced Red, White & Royal Blue sequel yet, Perez was more than happy to share his hopes and dreams for Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry’s next chapter:“I would like to see Alex grow a bit more out from under his parents—like, use what he’s learned from the White House and take that out on the road,” Perez shared.
