sexual tension

between these two

not remotely

A* for effort boys

[nyx-010]

Nah, there was no relationship.

Jon’s just a perfect gentleman who, like any good gentleman, lends his arm to escort his BFF places.

And like many BFFs, they were unconcerned about each other’s germs. 

They stood together like true bros, even on controversial issues like football. [x]

And expressed their totally platonic omg u guyz what r u talking about??? love for each other through adorkable fangirl pins. [x]

so bromance

much hetero [x]

wOW - just so everyone knows I did not edit that it’s literally just a clip from one of their music videos.

All joking aside, guess what song George is serenading Jon with in that gif deathbypride posted. Not a word of a lie, it’s I’ll Tumble 4 Ya. And yes, it is every bit as flirtatious as you’d think. But don’t get me started about that video - I’ll end up talking about it for three days straight xD.

It was such a thrill to be 17 years old and standing on a stage dressed as Boy George - wearing his actual clothes from the 1980s. He told me, “We’re gonna be friends for life now!” and I truly hope that we are.

Worried About The Boy (2010) * * * *

starring Douglas Booth, Mathew Horne, Richard Madden, Freddie Fox directed by Julian Jarrold

It’s not easy to sum this film up. It is about Boy George, his youth, his rise to stardom, his fall. His personal happiness, fights and tragedies. And yet it so much more.

I know about Boy George, of course. Who doesn’t? I like his music and he has a fascinating persona, but I didn’t have a deeper interest in him. 

I had Douglas Booth on my radar for a while now, having seen him first in “LOL”. Lately I stumbled upon him again and this film appeared. I love good gay love stories and drama, thus I gave it a chance.

The film is, at times, difficult to follow, because it jumps between the events in the present to events in the future, between George’s struggle to find himself, to free himself from his parents to his relationships to his drug addiction and fall in the future. But once you adjust to the movie’s tempo, once you let it take you on this rollercoaster ride, it is a very well made film with a very fine sense of humor that balances between joy and tragedy artfully. It doesn’t glorify the dark moments in George’s life but manages to focus on them carefully.

Douglas Boooth as the titular character? You should keep the name of this young, talented, exceptional actor in mind. Not for a minute did I think “oh, he is acting” or found the modern youth in him. He was Boy George, to the core, to the tiniest of gestures. He manages to capture George’s every mood, every situation he is thrown into, and you believe him, you feel for him, with him, you can’t help but be fascinated by him and drawn to him. 

I’d also like to point out two supporting actors who impressed me. Freddie Fox is a very believable Marilyn and I must admit, I have seen few women who were as feminine and elegant as Freddie is in his performance. I also liked Mathew Horne as Jon Moss. He doesn’t have many scenes but in those he does, he impresses with a quiet, grave restraint. He is the calm anchor to George’s loud flamboyance and he earths the boy. Horne manages to depict those undertones wonderfully. 

Overall, “Worried About The Boy” is a good drama and takes you right back to the London of the 80s. A must for every Boy George, Jon Moss and Culture Club fan, of course, but also for everyone who just wants to enjoy a good, well acted story.
