Please David Jonsson Don't Hurt 'Em

There isn't a whole lot of information to share on this project but the information we do have, which is the people involved with it, is enough to warrant a post -- Babygirl and Bodies Bodies Bodies writer-director Halina Reijn's next project is called Please and it is set to star Industry and Alien Romulus actor David Jonsson as well as a little fresh-faced somebody named Connor Storrie who you've perhaps heard of on this very website before. Oh also singer Gracie Abrams and the great Tom Burke of Living and Black Bag fame. Anyway that's it, that's all the info we got, save that Reijn's working with A24 again which makes sense. So we'll keep our eyes and ears and you know other parts attuned to this frequency to share further information down the road. For now enjoy these two very sexy photos of David! (I hope he comes back for the final season of Industry. I hated the way his gay character just disappeared. He needs to come back so he can fuck Sir Henry, dammit!)

Good Morning, World

If you follow me on Bluesky you may have seen me swooning over some of the guys at the Met Gala last night -- most especially Nicholas Hoult in his leather daddy gear. I was surprised by how black leather forward the night was for the men -- I guess Pillion had a bigger effect than we thought! Anyway one man who didn't wear black leather (but did wear black, which leather aside was very much the color of the night, making me think everybody translated "Fashion Is Art" to mean they should dress like art gallerists in 1993) was Heated Rivalry BMOC Connor Storrie, who looked very pretty (once he ditched the jacket and blammed out those guns), if a bit safe. I prefer these photos that GQ posted of him getting ready for the big night honestly,, but then... tighty-whities. I would! I am not unpredictable! Hit the jump for the all of them...

Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, Mr. Storrie

Much to many of your no doubt chagrins Heated Rivalry breakout Connor Storrie has been booking roles left right and V-shaped center -- for one I believe he's already filmed his role in Beef and Shiva Baby actress Molly Gordon's upcoming comedy Peaked opposite Gordon and Emma Mackey and Laura Dern and Amy Sedaris and lots of people (it's a comedy about a high school reunion), which sounds right up my alley since every name I just listed off is heaven. But we're not here now for Peaked -- we're here because Deadline is reporting that his next movie might be a thriller called Turpentine from  Compliance director slash The Penguin showrunner Craig Zobel, which already has Melissa McCarthy circling. Those two in a thriller already has me pre-thrilled! The plot, described as "following a deadbeat son who hires friends to rob his own parents to pay off a bookie with disastrous results", sounds pretty Fargo-ish to me, but Zobel makes me think it will be played straighter than the Coens did similar ingredients. But it'll be good to see McCarthy do another serious role -- I wouldn't be angry if this was just The Deep End but with Meliessa McCarthy playing the Tilda role! Although if they wanna go goofier maybe she could play her character like an older version of that roommate from Go! So many possibilities. 

Connor Storrie's Ass Attack

We have all lost our damn fool minds, but what I have for you today is one of the good -- heck one of the best -- responses to the madness I've seen. Use art for good not evil! Candyman and Hedda and The Bone Temple director Nia DaCosta just directed a four-plus-minute horror short film for Verizon that stars Heated Rivalry hunk-and-a-half Connor Storrie... and his magnificent ass. (Talk about a bone temple.) And yes I admit that I got the punchline five seconds into this thing but it was a joy, a pleasure, to behold anyway, so without spoiling it myself I will just let you discover it for yourself below. If we have to be crazy then let us be crazy this way.

Ice Dancers

Because I love the insane conversations that happen in the comments of every Heated Rivalry post so very much, let's do a fresh one! In truth I just wanted to post the above photo of Connor Storrie, but there is actual news of note -- specifically the show's ace soundtrack is getting a physical media release! On both vinyl and CD (this whole CD renaissance thing is so weird to me)... 

... and you can pre-order it this Thursday. Well at 12:01am, so, you know, very early Thursday slash late Wednesday night. All the info is at this link. The album will inclue lots of the show's killer needle-drops (that Wolf Parade banger we all had caught in our heads!) as well as the score. You can see the entire track-list on the image below (just click it and it will embiggen). So if this is your bag, bag on baby! And if it's not please tell me all about it in the comments, I'm just dying to hear about it.

Who Wore It Best?

online polls

Kind of a surprise to see two hot up-n-comers wearing the same exact outfits on two seperate magazine covers like this! (Shout out to our pal Dennis for catching it.) I posted Connor Storrie's full Vogue shoot just last week right here -- I will share the shoot of Him and Reminders of Him (now there's a double-feature) star Tyriq Withers down below (via). Before that though I just have to add that I just right this minute learned that Tyriq and I share a birthday! I mean he's [redacted] years younger than me but we're both July 15th babies. It's just nice to have somebody besides Linda Ronstadt to celebrate with, is all! (No offense to Linda Ronstadt.) Hit the jump for all the fresh Tyriq...

François Arnaud Seven Times

I am amused at how the Heated Rivalry foursome have been tagging one another with the sexy photoshoots for the past several weeks -- one after another after another after another, Connor Storrie then Robbie G.K. then Hudson Williams then our boy François here rocking a vast array of fashion panties for Cero magazine today...

Truly these all go well beylond "short shorts" -- when a butt-cheek is exposed a la the iconic movie poster for I Spit on Your Grave we've wandered into new territory. I think he is literally just wearing tighty-whities in the photo below? I do think the foursome are in a playful game of one-upmanship with these shoots though, and who's the real winner? We are, of course. Hit the jump for the rest... 

Good Morning, World

I didn't intend to take a Heated Rivalry break here on the site for however long it's been -- no you people who hated on the show in the comments constantly didn't win, sorry -- I've just been... let's say "scattered" lately. That's a nice word for it. Nicer than "wanting to crawl in a very deep dark hole and die" anyway which is far closer to the truth. There's no fun in that, though -- I'd prefer to try and be helpful at keeping everybody's moods up, everybody's minds off all the bullshit, be some sort of oasis in the desert of 2026. It's been a hard couple of weeks at managing all that, is all. Not doing great, Bob! Anyway I do have these photos of Connor Storrie looking ridiculously gorgeous for Vogue (via) so perhaps these'll slap some sunshine on me, you, somebody, this morning. And hey it's Friday! That's gotta count for something too. Hit the jump for the rest...

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... the Heated boys' hose.

Pic of the Day

Here is a lovely behind-the-scenes picture from that Paris fashion event where three-quarters of the Heated Rivalry cast were in attendance that I posted about last week; this captures an intimate moment between actors François Arnaud & Robbie G.K... awwwww, everybody say awwwww. All that whilst Aaron Taylor-Johnson lurks in the background like a waiter? No seriously I totally thought Aaron was a waiter in this photo right until I was about to load it here on the site -- if you don't zoom in it sort of looks like he's wearing an apron, I think? Anyway we know Aaron was also there because see below, but it's kinda wild how much that shaggy hair ages him -- Arnaud, who's five years Aaron's elder, looks like a baby beside him. This post is really just me telling Aaron to cut his hair please. The gay boys are overtaking you! (Would pay to watch.)

Do Dump or Marry: Heated Rivalry Eats Paris

Three of the four main cast-members of Heated Rivalry were dolled up at the Saint Laurent show in Paris today -- left to right that's Robbie G.K. (making a feast of those leather trousers), Connor Storrie, and François Arnaud, with Hudson Williams as the odd man not to be seen for this go. (Click the picture to embiggen.) And obviously threesomes of this sort...

... always lend themselves to our favorite game of "Do Dump or Marry" (known to many as "Fuck Marry Kill")! So now you take to the comments down below and tell us which one you'd want to spend a single night of unbridled passion with, which one you'd toss in the trash, and which one you'd choose for your life-long (tonsil) hockey partner. And try not to be influenced by the fact that Luca Guadagnino has obviously already made his choice:

Good Morning, 2026

Hello, good people of Earth, and welcome (hell-come?) to 2026. This holiday break was so long that bringing up the gay hockey sensation Heated Rivalry now feels almost passé, but let us recall -- the last time I was up in here I still hadn't watched the show! That didn't last long though -- it was my first binge of several over the holidays, and... well it was also my second of the holidays because I watched it through twice. Once for me, and then a second time so my boyfriend could watch. It was just as good the second time. (Your thoughts?) I'm a little surprised we're leading with star Hudson Williams this morning to be honest, just because there have been about fifty times as many photoshoots of his co-star Connor Storrie, but the luck of the draw (i.e. this was the first photoshoot I found buried in my stuff this morning) favored Hudson (shot for Timid magazine) and we're a-okay with that. So while we get ourselves settled back in the blogging seat y'all go and enjoy this full photoshoot after the jump...

The Heated Rivalry Boys Heat Up GQ

Since I really have nothing new to add to the Heated Rivalry discussion that I haven't said in our previous posts on the hot queer hockey romance, since as I said previously I'm saving the show for a good stiff binge over the holiday break, let's take a couple of side-jaunts now here that we have the show's breakout stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams reenacting controversial those Calvin Klein pornography advertisments on the cover of GQ magazine -- okay maybe this first thing isn't a side-jaunt because... WHAT? I'd heard this show had been building as a word-of-mouth hit but who could've foreseen this level of steamy gayness front and center in American Culture? The cover of GQ? 

I did not think I'd live to see the day, honestly. (And it is still early in the day, given the way of the world, so let's not get ahead of ourselves too far.) But by all accounts this show's really busted into the mainstream in a way most gay shit does not -- they talked about it on The View! Which yes means a big part of this is that straight women are enjoying it, but that really is a shift in culture -- that straight American women are openly, happily admitting that the sight of two men in flagrente doesn't gross them out now.  Even a decade ago this was not the case. (Well except one of my good friends. You know who you are, darlin!) 

Anyway that's cool. The other thing, the actual side-jaunt I wanted to take, was -- what shows should I watch over the break? I have this one, I have Pluribus, I have Boots (RIP Boots). I know there are even more but I'm blanking. Generally just assume I haven't seen anything new lately and recommend me some stuff to watch over the break. And in return I'll gift you all these photos after this break...

Good Morning, World

Am I being gay-baited by Heated Rivalry co-stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams and more importantly -- do I give a shit if I am? The answer to the second question is a firm, hard no. I never care.  For my entire life I've watched straight guys have a monopoly on the spectacle of straight girls making out at bars for their pleasure, and I want in on that sweet action. We're all consenting adults having a good time dammit! Let them eat cake! Let us all eat cake!

Okay these Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams chaps are OUT OF CONTROL #heatedrivalry
