‘The Real O’Neals’ Noah Galvin reads gay celebrities
Noah Galvin, the star of the new and hilarious series The Real O’Neals, may play a shy gay teen who is just coming to terms with his queerness on ABC, but in real life he is apparently very loud and proud of his rainbow affiliation. It made this abundantly clear in a recent interview with Vulture.
From the beginning Noah was very candid during the interview sharing stories of not knowing how to deal with young fans asking for help, and why he decided to jump out of the closet along with his character on the show.
It’s important to me that with this slightly revolutionary thing we’re doing on network television that I should go full force and follow through as completely as possible. And it’s paid off in ways. In terms of, like, the kids who watch my show and say thank you for being open about who you are, and playing this character, and bringing a level of authenticity that maybe somebody else wouldn’t have. I like to think it makes it that much more relatable. And older people who watch the show are like, damn, I wish I had something like this on TV when I was younger to normalize my situation and make me not so self-hating.
But as he continued, things got a little shady, especially when asked about another queer icon Colton Haynes …
That’s not coming out. That’s fucking pussy bullshit. That’s like, enough people assume that I sleep with men, so I’m just going to slightly confirm the fact that I’ve sucked a dick or two. That’s not doing anything for the little gays but giving them more masturbation material.
He then moved on to Eric Stonestreet who plays Cam on the hit show Modern Family.
I think as wonderful of an actor as Eric Stonestreet is — I’ve never met him, I assume he’s a wonderful guy — he’s playing a caricature of a caricature of a stereotype of stereotype on Modern Family. And he’s a straight man in real life. And as hilarious as that character is, there’s a lack of authenticity. I think people — especially young gay kids — they can laugh at it, and they can see it as a source of comedy, but like, nothing more than that. And I want Kenny to be more than the funny gay kid.
He even went after Bryan Singer in a very vicious attack …
Yeah. Bryan Singer likes to invite little boys over to his pool and diddle them in the fucking dark of night. [Laughs.] I want nothing to do with that. I think there are enough boys in L.A. that are questionably homosexual who are willing to do things with the right person who can get them in the door. In New York there is a healthy gay community, and that doesn’t exist in L.A.
