We wish that more gay roles in Hollywood movies were played by gay actors, but when straight guys do get these parts, we’re gratified when they fully commit to their nude scenes.

5) Ewan McGregor and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in Velvet Goldmine (1998)
A goldmine of epic dudity, Velvet Goldmine features the perfect butts of Ewan McGregor and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. Of course, this is in addition to McGregor’s on-stage strip tease, where he shows off his peen and a flash of his hole.
4) Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Pete Kasper in Mysterious Skin (2004)
We love Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance in this movie. The story is alternately sexy and disturbing, but you do see his peen at one point.

A lengthy, hardcore makeout between stars Ryan Kwanten and Alexander Skarsgård is what all the fans of this show were waiting for.

Harry Potter himself shows off his tight ass and sexy, fuzzy bod while getting pounded in missionary by a sexy beatnik! You can see the entire scene here.
1) Garrett Clayton in King Cobra (2016)
Former Disney star Garrett Clayton went ALL IN for his portrayal of famous gay porn star Brent Corrigan in King Cobra. James Franco produced the flick and stars it in alongside Clayton (he even bottoms in one scene).
Seriously No Lafayette from True Blue… Jason and Eric both were not gay characters. WTF.
True Blood, sorry rage caused my Misspelling.
I agree with the everyone’s sentiment that saying only gay actors should play gay roles….totally agree that that is silly. Why then do people get so bent out of shape when a non-trans actor is chosen to play a trans role?
In what universe is Garrett Clayton straight? Certainly not this one.
@Dennis – Umm Neil Patrick Harris? How I met your mother.
Are gay actors just as brave for playing straight roles? Just a question
Where’s amazing Charlie Hunnam with his hot almost pornographic role in Queer as Folks?
I honestly get so tired of seeing articles like this. All hail the straight actors for actually committing to play the role they were hired to portray. Gay, lesbian, straight, bi, transgender, whatever; if you are an actor and you agree to take a part, then you do it, regardless of what that part is. That’s your job, and you deserve recognition if you do it well, not just because you do what you are supposed to be doing in the first place.
’10’ is a typo, right? ‘Cause there’s only one straight man on this list. Where in the world would anybody find 10 straight actors?
I agree with Big Joe. Any actor, with proper training, talent and commitment can play ANY role! For example, Patrick Stewart of “Star Trek: Next Generation” successfully performed the title role in Shakespeare’s “Othello.” with an otherwise Afro-British cast, emphasizing the tragic protagonist’s ‘otherness,’ instead of the color of his skin. The only proviso is that the production remain true to the playwright’s intent.
Let’s be honest, everyone refers to it as “Bareback Mountain!”
Hello-
i believe the best actor for a gay character is the one the director
chooses as the best choice for the role. to say only gay actors should
play gay characters is like saying only Italian actors should play
Italians.
