Oliver Jackson-Cohen made a gay love story!

It's on BBC 2 later this month.

"Tell us about Man in an Orange Shirt…"

"‘It’s in 2 parts: the first is about [my character Michael] a man who falls in love with a [male] war artist during WWII. That was forbidden, so he marries and has a child, but over the course of 15 years he continues this relationship with this artist, and his wife finds out about it – it’s pretty horrific really. The 2nd part picks up when the wife is much older – Vanessa Redgrave plays her, and she’s amazing, incredible – and you find out how [the affair] kind of affected her whole life, how it’s affected her relationship with her son and her grandson. It’s all about repression and actually it’s insane when you think about it, about what used to happen to people that were in that situation. It’s terrifying. It’s a really eye-opening, well-written script and a beautiful love story. It’s heart-breaking – the most intense shoot I’ve ever done.’

I abandoned Emerald City mid 3 episode. It was just silly, despite the eye-candy.

He had some Instagram stories recently from his vacation and it was just a sea of golden chest hair. Fuck, I should have saved them.

He caught my eye as a cute lad in "Lark Rise to Candleford". Then, saw him again in "Mr. Selfridge". I cannot wait to see "Man in an Orange Shirt".

He looks like Armie Hammer's hotter brother.

But he looks really douchy in R14's pic.

It's a show about pretending to be straight. Seriously, it shows more of hot guys frau than his gay lover. Total disappointment.

by Anonymousreply 28August 2, 2017 6:44 AM

The guy who plays his lover is James McArdle, who played Louis in the recent National Theatre Angels in America. I wonder if he's gay in real life?

by Anonymousreply 29August 2, 2017 7:36 AM

A quick google shows that McArdle dated Alexandra Roach, young Margaret Thatcher to Meryl's Iron Lady a few years back.

He made snippy comments about Orange Shirt being included in a season called Gay Britannia, when he thought it should be standalone, mainstream. I wonder if a gay person would likely make such a comment. I know I wouldn't.

Oliver was absolutely gorgeous in Dracula (the series with Jonathan Rhys Meyers). Glad to see him play a gay man. I sort of hate these sad or bittersweet love stories but what can you do, that's what live was and still is for some gay and bi men.

OJC has the same syndrome as Henry Cavill, another JRM co-star--pretty but boring on screen.

JRM is currently filming Henry James' Asperns Papers with Vanessa Redgrave and Joely Richardson.

sounds like the perfect frau story--all about HER!

It is nice to see him in a more convincing role. Lets face it, darling. I knew he was gay from the moment I saw him on "Emerald City".

You should just stopped there R29. The end was not necessary. It speaks for itself.

by Anonymousreply 36August 10, 2017 4:26 PM

Do we know, R35, that OJC is gay? I'd love it if he were (I watched all of that horrible Emerald City just for him), but I haven't seen any even half-hearted evidence. Get sleuthing, DL Sherlocks!

He's been in a relationship with Jessica de Gouw for several years.

Not that I'm gay or anything, but I'd be happy just to watch Vanessa Redgrave reading the newspaper for an hour and forty-five minutes. The eye candy was a nice bonus. I rather liked the movie.

He looks like a Gyllenhaal. He and Jake need to play brothers.

by Anonymousreply 42June 18, 2018 3:28 AM

Never heard of him until I just watched this. He is beyooond gorgeous! I love that his real mother designed costumes for Eddie and Patsy in AbFab. What fabulous life he must have had. I would assume he is an arrogant entitled dick in real life - but damn he’s gorgeous.

Surprised PBS is showing softcore gay sex scenes. That seems more like a Cinemax/HBO/Showtime thing. Though, to be fair, they previously showed full frontal male nudity with Billy Campell in their old Tales of the City show.

There was brief buttfucking. No penis was shown, however, in the making of this movie.
