Going Gay
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Anglophilia > Jesse McCartney
Jesse McCartney reaches out to his core audience (after the tweens) by posing for the cover of U.K. homo magazine AXM.
And he looks yum yum!
We've got an exclusive preview of the interview, and, yes, he talks about Zacquisha.
Here's what Jesse has to say…
AXM: You’re certainly a sex symbol. And now you’ll have us boys chasing after you as well…
Jesse: Hey man! The more the merrier! You know a fan’s a fan. You know it doesn’t matter what your sexuality is.
[Let's talk about] fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus a.k.a Hannah Montanna. Can you comment on the naked photo controversy?
I will comment about that. I think that people are nuts. I didn’t find any of the photos offensive in Vanity Fair. I thought they were artistic if anything. It sucks man. Everything about Miley was so sensationalized. I really feel for her you know.
Are you a Justin Timberlake fan?
Huge! I love Justin. I admire his work, I love his songs. I think he’s a great musician and entertainer… he’s the only other white boy I know that’s doing r’n’b music.
You’ve starred with Zac Efron in the past. Are you two friends?
Yeah. I haven’t spoken with him in a while. The only thing I can say about Zac Efron is that he’s really one of those people that you can’t help but love. He’s just so laid-back, almost too laid-back. He’s just so nonchalant about everything…
He seems quite focused to us!
Oh he’s really focused, but he’s got this ‘Yeah man! – whatever’ kind of attitude, which is great, in such a chaotic world. He’s super-talented and really humble.
C’mon there must be some rivalry between you…
None whatsoever. He’s one of those guys, you wanna root for him you know? There’s not a bad bone in his body.
Your film career has so far been for a much younger audience. Would you like to do more serious acting roles?
Definitely. I think after this album, I’m gonna take a little time to pursue that more and more. I’ve always been drawn to more dramatic, darker film roles. Hopefully I’ll have more time for it.
Would you play a gay character?
Yeah. You know an actor is an actor and an actor in my opinion should be able to step up and play any role, whether it’s gay, straight, whatever. It’s all about becoming somebody else, that’s what I love about acting.
Is there another male actor you’d like to act with?
Definitely. I’d love to do something with Edward Norton or Phillip Seymour Hoffman. My ideal role is to play kind of like, a fucked-up druggy, like Leonardo DiCaprio in the Basketball Diaries.
Going back to the gay question – if you had to have a Brokeback Mountain style co-star, who would it be? Somebody your age?!
Mmmm… if I had to have a co-star my age (pauses for a while)… maybe Emile Hirsch? He’s a really good actor. And maybe Shia LaBeouf.
Nice! Is there any men you look up to in the fashion world?
I like Marc Jacobs, I think that all of his stuff seems to fit me all the time. I love his suits and everything that he puts out there.
What about David Beckham?
Yeah. Beckham’s a stud man.
Wtf!?!?!!!
WHY?
:(
How could he do that to me?????
I had the BIGGEST crush on him EVER!
:((((((((((((((((((((
now he is gay/bi….and on top of that he thinks he is some "rapper guy" now. Saying, "Imma walk it out" and "white boy." WTF!?!?!?!?
Re: Marie – shut upp!! hes not gay u dumbasss oooo n he knos hes not a rapper n tht song called rock you he wus not gunna do it unless tht dude sean garret did it with him so he did the song n its not even a rap so shut up! he dont wunna be a rapper yeh so wut if said tht leavin is not a rap soo shut up n wut is he supposed to say coccasion boy no white hes from planet earth not mars like u n im with him on earth but u n the rest of the stupid ppl might as well be alliens!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the fact that he is open-minded about these things.
And to some of the people: the interviewer asked "gay" questions because that is the target audience for the magazine, GAY men.
I also don't think that just cause he says that he wouldn't mind playing a gay character makes him gay. If I were an actress, I would be fine with playing a lesbian, and I'm into guys. It just depends on how open you are to things like that. As well, I think the "Beckham's a stud man." comment was kinda in a joking tone. Not like a super serious "I fancy him" sort of way.
FUCKIN GAY!!!! XP
fuck he's hot i hope he's gay!
Huuumm, he´s perfect :}
omg…i LUV Jesse!! He is SOOO hott!!!
i hope i can see him in concert and maybe even meet him!!!

even if he was~ id still luv him!!
Re: MARCE –
omg! ur sooo wrong!
even if ur right..i still luv him
get a reality check!
Wow…I wonder if you people would actually be talking if someone like 50cent, Kanye, Eminem or even Justin did an interview like this….Jesse is not gay….just because hes not homophobic doesn't mean he's gay…..I think Jesse kinda took a big step in doing this interview…And thats why I am such a big fan of his He probably could have guessed Perez (or any critics)would put this up and still did the interview….I bet no one on here could give me 3 good reasons why Jesse could be gay.
I dont think he's turning gay i think its just a magazine that asked him a few questios ,thats all.
i dont hink he is gay.
God perez just because ur gay doesnt mean that everyone else is gay to! give the guy a break! (i love jesse mccartney)
