i’ve been thinking about it but no caption could possibly make this any funnier
I feel like I know at least three people for whom this post would totally ruin their memories of their adolescent sexual awakening.
Maybe for those three it would, but for those of us who were instead fixated on Elizabeth having pants feelings for the first time, this is just funny. :DDD
“Now Colin, you’ve always been seen as a romantic lead to the ladies. How did you apply this to a gay context? Was it difficult for you? How did you-”
Hero.
Not just that he said it, but that he seemed really angry that he had to.
I noticed that. He seems like he’s about 9000 percent done with bullshit on this subject.
I dunno, if you go through these 200 000 notes I can promise you an LGBTQ kid will tell you how utterly different queer romance is and that what Colin Firth said is highly offensive.
yeah, BEING gay is very different from BEING straight and that has an affect on our experiences, but like.
he’s talking about acting. He’s being asked how difficult it was to pretend to be in love with a man instead of pretending to be in love with a woman, and that question IS insulting, because it IS acting. If he’s capable of pretending believably to love and cherish some actress, it shouldn’t be hard to do the same with an actor, and the fact that it’s assumed to be is entirely because of how homophobic our culture is.
That’s why he’s mad. While the experience of being IN a queer relationship might be very different from being in a straight one, in the end, they’re both relationships between people who love one another, and from an acting perspective it SHOULDN’T make a difference, and I"m very glad he said it.
