When we first heard of former Disney Channel star Garrett Clayton, it was because he’d taken on the role or a lifetime (well, that’s debatable), tackling Brent Corrigan in 2016’s surprise hit, King Cobra.
The film is wild ride if you haven’t caught it yet, and Queerty even makes a cameo.
So what’s a guy to do after portraying one of the world’s most famous gay adult film stars? By the looks of these promotional images for God Looked Away, a play that’s world-premiering at the Pasadena Playhouse outside Los Angeles, he’s sticking with the “boy toy” type. We’re not mad about it.
The play is an adaptation of a 1985 biography of Tennessee Williams and stars Al Pacino as the famed gay playwright.
How about we take this to the next level?

We’re going to go out on a limb and say Clayton becomes an object of lust for Pacino’s character in the production, because just look at him.
The synopsis of the play reads:
Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman) and Judith Light (Transparent) take the stage in this seismic story about Tennessee Williams. Resisting the end of his career, one of America’s most beloved, prolific and flawed playwrights works to open his final play in Chicago while his hotel room becomes the setting of a battle between creation and addiction; love and sex; immediate satisfaction and eternal legacy.

Nice to see he’s getting some exposure…
I didn’t recognize Judith Light under the heavy eye make-up. Love her.

The boy is hot. I wonder if he kept the star on his butt.

I haven’t seen KING COBRA, but I hope he’s better in this play than we was in the live broadcast of HAIRSPRAY awhile back. He was so flat and lifeless in that that there were times I forgot the character was even there. But maybe acting is like tennis…you need to play with people who are better than you are to improve your game. And, in this case, he couldn’t have chosen a better “acting class.”
Billy Budd
He is convincing in KING COBRA, but James Franco and the other actor (don’t remember his name but he is also cute) steal the show.

He was very good in King Cobra and as C. Slater said when interviewed, the kid is…he’s…beautiful.
Looking forward to God Looked Away. I imagine his excitement to perform with Pacino.

He looks disturbingly similar to Zack Efron so I keep forgetting he exists but his booty is magical.
