Is james scully gay

Scully grew up doing musical theater in Texas, where he says his queerness was so obvious it was almost a foregone conclusion. Are you going all the way fearlessly to the places that you need to go to be this character? It's weird and not realistic and not very pragmatic.

Are you being kind to the people on set? It took some space and some grace on the actor's behalf, but now Scully says his dad would be "thrilled to meet anyone I brought home.

Playing the charismatic free spirit Forty offered Scully the kind of creative freedom he craved, but also a frustrating number of questions about his sexuality — both the character's and his own. The work he did on those projects was bad, Scully says.

Are you being honest? There's no real good end game to this conversation. Most important to him is honesty, someone who will call him on his bullshit and challenge him to be a better person and partner.

After breaking out on the second season of Netflix’s hit psycho-drama, the actor is done playing coy about identity, both on screen and off. Scully isn't afraid to be vulnerable, which is another way he's like his character on You. Actor James Scully confirmed during an Instagram Q&A that his character on the Netflix series 'You' is not straight and 'never will be.'.

He has been "very publicly bullied for keeping (his) shirt on multiple times," at gay locations like Ginger Roger's beach in Santa Monica, and Fire Island, but now feels that "We're not stripping down to our underwear even as an exercise in like sexual attraction.

That's a person who's being given the space to do what they're good at. Are you showing up to work every day and doing your job? Perhaps it's because his sexuality has been the fascination of outsiders for most of his life. He faced some growing pains in his coming out, as most do.
