Is harris dickinson gay
“All this male nudity and gay sex!” It might sound like a lovely enticing strapline for a movie, but in Hollywood, it remains a no go for some actors. When filmmaker Eliza Hittman cast around for a lead in her production Beach Rats, she ran into a lot of agents who declined to put actors on their books forward for the lead role.
Fortunately for Hittman, one young English thespian was not feeling so prudish. Harris Dickinson was aware of the essence of the role in Beach Rats from the get go. He would be playing Frankie, a bored, high, Brooklyn teenager who spends his summer figuring out his sexuality on gay chatrooms, at cruising spots, and through a romance with a girl.
All this, Dickinson says, in his totally chill manner, was satisfactory. “One of the first emails about it said it was a very rough and tumble role, it might not be something you’re interested in,” Harris explains. “I assume I’m attracted to a rough and tumble role, whatever that description means.”
Having read Hittman’s script, the actor knew all the things he would be asked to act out – from taking thirst trap selfies to cottaging with older guys in the undergro

I saw Beach Rats at Outfest last month and think its actor, Harris Dickinson, is a real detect. Quickly featured him as Morning Guy because, well, those lips! That body! That talent! Here are some excerpts from a brand-new interview with OUT: “It was a new experience,” he says, as was making Beach Rats, his breakout production after drama educational facility and some stage work back abode. “But I was comfortable doing it. I’m comfortable in my sexuality and in my body now. You own to come to terms with the fact that you’re going to bare yourself on-screen and it’s going to exist there forever, but I cared enough about the character that I just wanted to throw myself into it.”
“Given that for certain groups it’s a terrible moment politically, I contemplate it’s that much more important that Beach Rats was made,” he says. “And it doesn’t glorify the coming-out process—it actually presents it from a negative perspective. But I hope those watching it can find a instinct of freedom in themselves. No wonderful ever comes of suppressing your tru
Is Harris Dickinson the most ethereally beautiful actor?
[quote]The most ethereally beautiful actor? Cut the shit. Nobody--and I do mean NOBODY--was more that than Brad Pitt in the early 90s.
Sure, if you didn't look too closely at his severely acne-pitted encounter. (Pun truly not intended, but thankfully he's gotten enough chemical peels at this point to be free of it.) What the fuck does this include to do with anything circa 2022, when Brad's pushing 60 and in no way "ethereal"? (Also, the ranks of ethereal men in their 20s dates back millennia, not just the '90s. Brad's merely one among hundreds of thousands over the centuries, albeit obviously much better-known than the others.)

He grew up in a middle-class London suburb, and nowadays London's an even larger melting pot than NYC, so "whitebread" is a considerable stretch. (DL geriatrics dismissing incredibly blazing young men as having "(low) rent boy faces," however, is no stretch at all. It was as just tedious 20 years ago as it is today.)

Harris Dickinson sits in a very normal encounter room in a very normal London office block and insists that his life is really very normal too – despite a rollercoaster two years. “Things haven’t changed,” he says. “I still live in London. I’m still with the alike girl. I reside close to my family… It’s nice.”
On screen though, it’s a different story. Earlier this year, the 22-year-old starred in Trust, Danny Boyle’s 10-part portrayal of the events surrounding the abduction of oil heir John Paul Getty III (he played the lead, losing 30 pounds in the process). Next year he’ll arrive alongside Angelina Jolie in Disney blockbuster Maleficent 2 (“I got to operate horses, I was sword fighting, enjoy. that shit was fun”), and he’s just finished filming Matthias and Maxine, where he will be directed by, and star alongside, much-lauded young French-Canadian auteur, Xavier Dolan (which was “a beautiful experience”).
Before all that was Beach Rats– a portrait of a repressed Brooklyn teen who has sex with older men, which saw him nominated for an Independent Spirit Award – and before that still was Postcards From London, which is only just being released. “I got this before I had e
