Any fan of ABC’s How To Get Away With Murder knows that the success of the show is thanks to a potent cocktail of scandalous intrigue with enough sex appeal pumped through the vents to make you dizzy.
But the sweaty, hormonal bodies that end up beamed through your HDTV aren’t exactly an accurate representation of the mood on set during filming. Sex may sell, but it’s sure as hell an awkward behavior to simulate, especially in a room full of union workers.
To highlight the bizarre process, HTGAWM’s 26-year-old star Jack Falahee live Tweeted the steps involved.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
And you thought preparing for actual sex was onerous. Grab the popcorn.
It starts, as all great love affairs start, with a cock sock:
I’m putting a cock sock on to film a scene and all 4 of my grandparents are still alive.

Next comes the revelation that Jack had to shave his chest. Oh, the humanity:

The tattoo coverup we can understand:
All that focus on his skin certainly pays off for viewers, but how is Jack feeling?
I just want people to know that men also can feel this way about their bodies. #insecure #masculinity #bodypositive https://t.co/QdnTMLZXPK

And after a long day of handsomely compensated objectification, it’s nice to know Jack is just like Liz Lemon, and by the transitive property, all of us:
FYI I ate 3 slices of pizza, half a box of Girl Scout cookies, 3 meatballs and a bunch of burrata after my shirtless scene.

Here’s a taste of Jack’s hard work:

I still want to know if he’s gay/bi IRL or not. I suspect no and he doesn’t want to say cuz he thinks it will jeopardize his gig. That “no labels” bullshit is just that, bullshit.
If he is one of the family…YAY!
Mr.Tim
@redcarpet30: What’s with everyone’s need to know. He’s a good actor who makes us want Connor Walsh in our beds even when he’s being an asshole. Those who want him to be gay are right up there with those that would surely want to “turn him” if he’s straight. Let actors act so we can live vicariously thru them. And yeah we’re getting beyond labels it’s the 21st Century.

What is it with this need to shave the chest anyway? Let’s see the natural man for christ sakes.

I get it that Jack F. looks awesome and it’s fun to see him romp with other guys on TV. But the best network TV right now with a real gay theme is another ABC show, American Crime Season 2, Wednesdays. Unfortunately it’s turning out to be another “The Wire” Nobody seems interested in a critical drama including the LGBT media.

@lvbronco: It’s his chest, if he wants to shave it he can. Why do we have to criticize every man that shaves his chest? Some men like to be hairy, some men don’t.

Love this show and love the fact that they are showing the sex scenes, maybe they will give conservative xtian a heart attack.
Praise JEBUS!
