Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey Discuss "Fellow Travelers" Sex Scenes | SiriusXM

Matt and Jonathan have fabulous chemistry, they transmit so much. It is incredible how this series portrays situations that are not so distant, as Jonathan says, it is still in the shadows if that is how it is in the United States. Let's imagine the rest of the world.

jonathan baileys explanation about the sex scenes nails it. it does so much more for viewers than just being provocative bait or fan service and does so much for people’s own perception of their sexualities and they do such a great job of handling it

[viciousnutella]

I’m so happy that there is finally two openly gay actors which are the leads of a gay show

[bizarre]

Jonathan Bailey is so well-spoken and eloquent, truly enjoy listening to him talk so much

[asianoy]

some people really just get to exist and be that physically attractive and talented 😤

[nybriag]

Love you forever Jonathan Bailey!!! Skippy has my entire heart, what an incredible job you did with that character!!!👏🏼🙌🏼🥰😘❤️

[nazgolghahremani]

This is by far one of the best series ever. They couldn't pick a better duo❤️

[fearlesssfcappuccino]

SO grateful for shows like Fellow Travelers!! Truly phenomenal work by all those involved - love both Matt and Jonathan and everyone else on the show. It really is important to have media like this for so many reasons

[ddbarr]

I could not imagine two better actors to bring these scenes to life. The entire cast is just perfect.

[seonghwangel]

“we still stay in the shadows dont we?” that really just breaks my heart… knowing people can’t be with the ones they truly love that has the same gender, as if they’re unclean and not human.. i wish the world was a better place

[alyz]

And those scenes are a great power play between the two characters, playing with the only power you have over your partners but at the same time it is a true love

[nomad]

Skippy's portrayal strikes me as incredibly emotional, depicting an internal struggle between religious purity and his genuine yearning for true love. Jonathan's adeptness in capturing these nuances ensures that the sexual scenes don't come across as gratuitous. It's through this role that I first got to know him, and I'm eagerly anticipating his future performances; first episode 5.... I can't breathe until I've watched it😢

[majestymonroe]

Wow!!! Jonathan broke that down exceptionally! That young man has a very bright future! I’m def a new fan!❤️❤️❤️

[jennyt]

Bawled my absolute eyes out at this series. Phenomenal, incredible, surreally profound, it deserves all the good words.

THANK YOU Jonathan Bailey!!! The absolute best quote from this interview from my perspective is his statement that the characters achieve "what most people would have without question." I came of age in the 80's & 90's and we still couldn't have much of it in public. I remember watching (and maybe drooling just a little over) Matt Bomer on "Tru Calling" and certainly never thought there'd be a day he or any actor like him would be publicly out.
Over the next 20 years I've watched as gay bashing and bullying have become outdated. Public perception has changed, however, sex scenes between two people of the same gender, especially male, are still a bit taboo. People of opposite genders film pretty graphic stuff and it is viewed like a car chase or restaurant scene. But if it is two men it is still uncomfortable for a whole lot of people.
Like everything else, I think the work of brave and honest individuals like these two amazing actors are going to help make it a little less "extra". I hope they are both celebrated and awarded for their honest and grounded performances!!!

Matt Boner and Jonathan Bailey have so much chemistry together on screen and are exceptional actors. Thanks guys for producing this compelling story.

[davidalbro]

As a 44-year-old gay male who grew up in the Midwest, this series doesn't feel far removed at all. Certainly there wasn't quite the legal ramifications of homosexuality as there was only 50 years prior (though there certainly were some), but the emotional challenges of accepting oneself and fighting for social acceptance were 100% there.

I relate STRONGLY to the emotional arc of Skippy in particular as well as the dynamic between Marcus and Frankie.

Emotionally, it feels like they are retelling my life story which is why I have fallen madly in love with this series.

[dahlia]

These two are incredible in portraying Hawk and Tim ❤

[silviam.leitegregory]

Love this interview. Awesome actors. Johnny is well spoken. Him and Matt together was a awesome casting ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[EdinSantaFe]

Amazing interview and more so by the guests' responses, intelligent, articulate and thoughtfully conveyed, and complimenting (no, not that way) each others' point of view. Impressive.
