Matt Bomer shares his favourite sex scene with Jonathan Bailey in Fellow Travelers

Matt Bomer has shared his favourite sex scene with co-star Jonathan Bailey in their acclaimed LGBTQ+ series Fellow Travelers.The Emmy-nominated historical romantic drama follows the love story between Timothy Laughlin (Bailey) and Hawkins Fuller (Bomer), set against the backdrop of the AIDs crisis, the Vietnam War and McCarthyism.But amid the profound storyline were plenty of boundary-pushing sex scenes – not to mention toe-sucking.

And despite Mid-Century Modern’s Bomer engaging in plenty of intimacy scenes with Wicked’s Bailey, it was the first sex scene they ever filmed for the series that takes the top of the list for the star.“I’m so grateful we were able to make that show! I honestly don’t know if it’d get made today. The business has changed so much in the last year,” he told PRIDE.

”Bomer and Bailey previously reflected on being encouraged to “push it” when filming Fellow Travelers‘ sex scenes. “From the beginning, [they] were giving us notes that weren’t constricting at all,” Bomer told Entertainment Weekly‘s The Awardist podcast last year. “They were actually really liberating.

They were saying: ‘No, go further. Embarrass yourself. Go too far.

Try to scare us. Try to see how far you can push it’.“And that kind of permission, I felt, even bled into the acting work on set because it came from people who were in power, who could make those decisions.

”Fellow Travelers.(Showtime)While Bomer has played many profound queer roles, including his turn as State Dept official Hawk in Fellow Travelers, his latest role in Mid-Century Modern has highlighted America’s “need to laugh right now” due to the current political landscape.When asked by Today’s Richard Wilkins about “whether the gags were landing” with the studio audience, Bomer responded: “It’s true, and I think we all realised early on that people need to laugh right now.

“I wanted to be [in] a comedy and experience joy on the set and I think once we started filming in front of an audience, we realised that other people — especially in this country right now — really need to laugh.”You can stream Fellow Travelers on Paramount+, and Matt Bomer’s newest series Mid-Century Modern on Disney+.The post Matt Bomer shares his favourite sex scene with Jonathan Bailey in Fellow Travelers appeared first on PinkNews | Latest lesbian, gay, bi and trans news | LGBTQ+ news.
