HOLLYOAKS GAY HUNK SPEAKS!

For some hotness today, I bring forth James Sutton. James plays gay character John Paul McQueen on the British soap Hollyoaks, although he is straight in real life, his portrayal of the gay teen John Paul is remarkable and has been getting a lot of praise from the gay community.

His job playing John Paul is now coming to an end after playing the part since September 2006. He is on his way to better things he says but took some time to sit down with Michael Jensen over at AfterElton.com and have a little Q&A session.

He Talks about his time being on the show, his thoughts on the gay community, what it's like to play a gay character while being straight and much more. Here is a tidbit of the convo:

AE: You have done a lot of interviews and seem really comfortable with the character and playing him. I suspect the way you haven’t made a big deal about playing a gay character is half of the reason why you’re so popular with our readers. Where do you come by that attitude with the role? Did you start out that way or did you come into that as you went along?

JS: I’ve always kind of had that. I spent a good part of my youth [in the theater] and there were a lot of openly gay men … so I was always around that kind of environment and always kind of comfortable around the gay community. I still occasionally go to a gay bar with people and hang out and stuff, so I’ve never had any kind of [discomfort] or anything with it. And I’m just an actor and it’s just a part and … if they need me to kiss another guy or be physical with another guy or whatever it may be … I’m comfortable with myself to do that. I’m quite comfortable in my own skin, you know?

This guy is cute.. Love the Accent as well.. Who Doesn't Love a British Accent? Too bad he is leaving soon. I was just getting used to him on the show. Its being aired on BBCK in Canada. What do you guys think of James??
