lol love how he says twice in this brief interview that this is the first guy he's ever kissed! Maybe those gay rumors are false?

Tveit doth protest too much, methinks.

Aaron Tveit kissing James Franco? This sounds relevant to my interests.
Given how pleased he sounds, it seems it is relevant to Tveit's interests too...

Posted: 9/24/10 at 8:20amI don't consider myself to be one of his crazy fans, but I'll be heading to the movies to see this.
#6Aaron Tveit on kissing James Franco
Posted: 9/24/10 at 8:25amI saw it at the Sydney Film Festival. I don't think Tveit has any spoken lines IIRC, but [cliché] his body does all the talking.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Aren't these stories kind of embarrassing for all involved? The writer, the publicist who has to tell his young client to get out there and talk about this crap, the client who does it, the editor who assigns a stupid story like this.
Surely when you dreamed of growing up to write for a magazine you didn't dream of writing this....

Posted: 9/24/10 at 1:23pmwell, many people who grew up dreaming to write are probably happy to be paid at all. not a value judgment, just cruel reality.

JoeKv99: please, lighten up! You're on BROADWAYWORLD discussing the merits of serious journalism?

...Did YOU write the article or something?
JoeKv99 raises a valid point. Whenever there's a movie featuring a same-sex kiss between two presumably heterosexual actors, there's always the inevitable question in interviews, whether they appear in print or on screen: "What was it like to OMG KISS A GUY?!?!"
What's the point? It's such a silly question, particularly in this day and age.

Posted: 9/24/10 at 5:38pmI don't know anything about Tveit's sexuality, but I do vividly remember seeing a shot of him in his N2N dressing room and noticing a 'pin up girl' kind of poster. And not the Vargas "artsy" type, but a contemporary bathing suit model from SI type.

> I just wanna know!!
well, of course ... we all do. but that kind of article is never gonna get us one whit closer to the truth.
i think it's subtly and mildly insulting. because everyone has to go out of their way to reinforce aaron's (putative) heterosexuality, the writing and the (presumed) quotes are stilted; as a result, the piece glosses awkwardly. the patina of homophobia is unavoidable ...
plus: they "had each others' backs"???? wtf??? i wasn't aware boy-on-b0y lip-lock was so risky -- i must be doing it wrong.

Posted: 9/24/10 at 9:14pmPerhaps he intended a different meaning when he said they 'had each others' back'.

oh, believe me -- i've considered all the possibilities.
repeatedly.
:)
in my head, of course, your version is correct; in reality, though, we both know the remarks were rooted in latent homophobia, not in aaron's nascent appreciation of the subtle virtues of a newly-discovered position.

I would think that if one is NOT gay, then the first time you kiss a same sex someone, it comes with a bit of trepidation -- especially when it's for a performance and not out of natural curiousity. THAT is not the same as homophobia.
If Aaron or any other b'way performer suffers from homophobia -- they are in the wrong venue.

I feel like every once in a while somebody does have something new to say about the issue, or at least a new way to say the same old thing. Of COURSE it's rooted in homophobia, what isn't these days? It's what a person says about how he confronts that within himself that can be surprising.
I loved when Sean Penn said after he shot a kissing scene with Franco (hey, is he the Universal Donor of this issue?) he immediately called Madonna and said, "I just kissed a guy for the first time and I thought of you."

Posted: 9/25/10 at 11:50amI have to say I was a bit offended by the "having each others backs" comment. He made it sound like they were about to go into combat.

Posted: 9/25/10 at 11:58amThey were! Remember the "sex" scene in Brokeback Mountain? That depicted exactly what the fantasy of gay male sex is among the unenlightened.
