Mr. Man, the Number One Authority on Male Celebrity Nudity, is puckering up for Pride Month with an ambitious listing of Hollywood’s Top 100 Iconic Gay Kisses exclusively at MrMan.
The extensive lineup of man-on-man lip locks honors the legends, such as Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger of award-winning 2005 blockbuster Brokeback Mountain (#1), as well as legends-in-the-making Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name (#3) and Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal in Y tu mamá también (#4).
Other landmark films that paved the way for onscreen gay intimacy include 1982’s Making Love (Harry Hamlin & Michael Ontkean, #25), 1950’s Un Chant D’Amour (Java & André Reybaz, #74), 1992’s The Crying Game (Jaye Davidson & Stephen Rea, #29), 1997’s In & Out (Tom Selleck & Kevin Kline, #32), 1992’s The Living End (Craig Gilmore & Mike Dytri, #84), The Real World (Pedro Zamora & Sean Sasser, #10) and 1994’s The Sum of Us (Russell Crowe & John Polson, #27).
Mr. Man also highlights the most Iconic Gay Kisses to grace must-see TV, such as True Blood (Alexander Skarsgård & Ryan Kwanten, #2), Empire (Jussie Smollett & Toby Onwumere, #93), Modern Family (Jesse Tyler Ferguson & Eric Stonestreet, #46), Riverdale (K.J. Apa, Rob Raco, Casey Cott, Cody Kearsley, #45), Dawson’s Creek (Adam Kaufman & Kerr Smith, #18), Queer as Folk (Aidan Gillen & Charlie Hunnam, #13) and Glee (Darren Criss & Chris Colfer, #7), to name a few.
Mr. Man also takes a good, long, lingering look at some of the brightest spots in gay cinema in the article, ‘A Brief History of Iconic Gay Scenes in Film and Television’, which pays homage to the rule breakers who laid the groundwork for representation – including The Boys in the Band, Will & Grace, Paris is Burning, The Dreamers, Angels in America and My Own Private Idaho.
“Ever since the first onscreen kiss between two men in a mainstream film was committed to celluloid nearly 100 years ago – in 1927’s Oscar-winning Wings – gay-themed storylines and love scenes have become ubiquitous in today’s inclusive and progressive modern cinema,” said a Mr. Man company representative. “Judging by the cinematic achievements on this list, we can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
