Guy Branum put some very special expertise to work as a co-producer of gay rom-com “Bros.”
“I was there every day for some of the sex scenes,” the gay comic told Page Six at the premiere, “Our director is straight and I was like, Someone needs to tell you [if it’s] hot or not.”
“I think a straight woman could do it. I think there’s some straight men who could do it,” he added, “but I need to double check Nicholas Stoller’s work.”
Stoller is the director, producer and writer of the film which is the first gay rom-com released by a major studio.
Branum said there was a little temptation on the very queer set.
“I was being very professional but I did once open Grinder on my phone and my phone essentially exploded,” he said, “There was a lot of Grinder out there.”
“I didn’t hook up with anybody. It was in a workplace. I couldn’t do that. But I’m not saying that I didn’t. And I am not saying that I did,”
It seems Branum was very committed to authenticity in other areas — for purely selfless reasons.
“I stayed very clothed throughout that scene,” he told us of a nightclub scene, “But I do love that they made a gay club seem and feel like a real gay club. I thought was very helpful that there was 500 writhing men there the whole time.”
“Bros.” also stars Luke Macfarlane, Ts Madison, Debra Messing, Miss Lawrence, Amanda Bearse and Dot-Marie Jones and debuts September 30.
