Superb location. I kind of found out, in the testing process, that actually, for straight people, [Danny] is a very easy in. Danny's very straight-acting. He gets mistreated because of that. Irvine was more thoughtful in his defense of the film. He remarked to The Daily Beast how the controversy, in a way, helped educate audiences.
Johnson, opposed to never having heard it before? I was out last night and had a few groups of people come up to me and wanted to talk about the film. They wanted to know if Marsha P.
Johnson was going to be a part of the movie and I was like, 'Yeah! But also, how cool that you are all talking about that. Irvine's casting as Danny — and now also Alan — further speaks to the ongoing conversation still happening in Hollywood about straight actors taking on gay roles. It's not just a matter of authenticity in the portrayal of queer lives, but about LGBTQ actors working to be seen on an equal playing field as their heterosexual counterparts.
Despite clear strides in this space — shoutout to Jonathan Bailey taking the lead in Bridgerton — it's still an issue. This kind of discussion has not gone away. Instead, it has received second, third, and fourth winds. Kate Winslet notably addressed this topic with The Sunday Times in an April interview in which she revealed she knew "at least four actors absolutely hiding their sexuality" out of "fear [of] being found out. The Oscar winner also made mention of "a well-known actor" who "just got an American agent and the agent said, 'I understand you are bisexual.
I wouldn't publicize that. For straight actors in a position of depicting LGBTQ people, it's about engaging with the conversation in a meaningful way. Irvine has made a point not to speak publicly about his private life or his sexuality, though he has had girlfriends, including Ellie Goulding.
In a interview with DailyXtra , he was asked about how his sexuality informed his performance as a gay man in Stonewall. There were a lot of gay actors in this movie, there were a lot of straight actors, but we all had to fight to get our roles. And we all got our roles because we were the best actors for that role. This discussion has not gone away.
Instead, the trend persists. Henry Golding , as a straight actor who stepped into a gay role for the film Monsoon , spoke with EW last year, recognizing that it's an "extremely layered conversation. Representation needs to be truthful on screen, but then does that limit artistry? It's a merry-go-round of conversation and I think neither really… how should I put it… neither are right, neither are wrong.
Irvine isn't necessarily at fault for taking on the role of Alan in Green Lantern , nor does it mean he's preternaturally incapable of portraying the character.
