Actor Brandon Flynn will take on the role of James Dean in a new motion picture exploring the rocky and sometimes romantic friendship between Dean and his top friend William Bast, according to the film’s director, Guy Guido. Willie and Jimmy Dean is based on Bast’s 2006 memoir, Surviving James Dean, a revision of his 1956 biography James Dean, in which Bast restored sections on Dean’s same-sex relationships and Bast’s own homosexuality that he self-censored in the first book.
Guido and Flynn made the announcement earlier today in The Hollywood Reporter, but I’ve been aware of Flynn’s casting for some day. I wasn’t able to say anything until the public announcement. Recently, Guido asked me to mail Flynn an autographed replicate of my book, Jimmy: The Secret Life of James Dean, and I am excited that Guido and Flynn are using my book for background research into Dean’s being and character.
The film “highlights how Hollywood has historically forced LGBTQ people into performance, even in their personal lives,” Flynn told TheHollywood Reporter. “This story dares to present James Dean as a human with real, complex relationships, and I think there’s

When Joe Westmoreland’sTramps Favor Us was first released in 2001, it slipped through the cracks. “My publisher had a heart attack the week after it came out,” the author recalls. “I had to do all the promotion myself.” Like so many queer stories, the novel vanished under the weight of more conventional and commercial narratives. But two decades later, it’s been republished with Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and it comes as no surprise to those who read it the first time around that it’s just as urgent—and edifying—today. A blend of memoir and fiction, Tramps Appreciate Us captures a moment of queer adventure and libertinism before HIV was widely understood, told through Westmoreland’s time fleeing his abusive household as he hitchhiked through the region in search of liberty, belonging, and sex. “This book felt like such a lifeline to a history that I sense a part of,” raved the 13 Reasons Why actor Brandon Flynn when he got on a ring with the author last month. “They were having fun, figuring themselves out, and diving into
Brandon Flynn is making me feel inadequate and that I need better appetite in swimwear.
The 31-year-old, who originally hails from Florida, lit social media on fire this week with a new shirtless photo posing in nothing but a baby blue speedo. Looks like he’s trying to put out his own hotness with a quick dip in the pool.
Is Brandon tall? I feel that he’s elevated. I also enjoy the messy hair, the collar bones (is that weird?), the big hands, touches of muscle in the chest and abdomen, the long legs… and obviously the way he fills out the little azure speedo.
Let’s take a minute – or, like, ten – to gaze upon his beauty.
Brandon Flynn has worked predominantly as a professional actor since 2016. Although he’s appeared in television shows like Ratchet and True Detective as well as the reboot of horror series Hellraiser, his biggest claim to fame is as a Netflix star thanks to 13 Reasons Why. Flynn co-starred in all 49 episodes as Justin Foley from 2017 to 2020.
Brandon Flynn is also a model and theatre actor. He’s worked mostly Off Broadway, and currently he’s performing in Spirit of People at the Williamstown Theatre Fest
Provincetown, Massachusetts—aka gay Disney Society with better drag and lobster rolls—has long been a queer rite of passage. But thanks to Brandon Flynn’s latest Instagram drop, it just got a little more blush-worthy.
The 13 Reasons Why star—who has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ representation both on and offscreen—served up three generous scoops of shirtless Americana genuineness, seasoned with beachside moist hair and a floppy-eared dog that’s honestly now more famous than some influencers.

Flynn lounges on a vintage bedspread like a man who knows his angles and his demographic. Shirtless, arms up, a daisy pillow strategically placed to state, “I’m approachable, but yes, I also work out.” Bonus points for seeable tattoos that whisper “I write poetry at night.”
Cut to Flynn, glistening and sandy on a sun-drenched beach, giving “queer boy-next-door just rinsed off in the Atlantic and is ready to emotionally ruin you.”
And in the grand tradition of gay men knowing their brand, he closes with a cozy snap curled up with his dog. If you didn’t already want to date him, now you at leas
