Hours after actor Jesse Williams was nominated for a Tony Award for best performance by a featured actor in a play in Broadway’s “Take Me Out”, the internet was abuzz about images from the show which feature the actor baring all! They nominated him in the ‘Best Dick’ Category and he WON!
Jesse himself was candid about it, and says he didn’t understand the hoopla!
“It’s a body, once you see it, you realize it’s whatever, it’s a boy!” Jesse said on the “Watch What Happens Live After Show.” “I just have to make it not that big of a deal.”
In the play, Williams plays a gay baseball player who comes out at the height of his success and encounters problems because of it. Earlier this month, the actor told Page 6 he was initially “terrified” of the role and the nude scene but eventually got over it.
“Then I noted that that was what I asked God for. I asked to be terrified,” Williams told the publication. “I asked to do something that was scary and challenging and made me earn it and made me feel alive and not comfortable.”
