"Heated Rivalry didn’t create Hudson Williams. It just gave the rest of the world a reason to look."

"I found myself watching a young Asian man stand under the Golden Globes lights, completely unguarded, received by white-dominated Hollywood with genuine delight — and looking like nothing the industry had ever deliberately produced. He hadn’t been media-trained into blandness. He hadn’t distanced himself from the show’s fanbase to seem more serious, more Hollywood, more palatable. He’d arrived exactly as he was, from exactly where he came from."

"They didn’t quite know what box to put him in. So they just let him exist.

Which, for an Asian man in Hollywood, is rarer than it sounds."

"Where Hudson Williams goes from here is still being written. The scripts are piling up. The agency is CAA now, not The Old Spaghetti Factory. He has walked runways in Milan, attended the Met Gala, wielded the Olympic torch. The world that didn’t know his name two years ago can’t seem to stop saying it."

Hudson Williams and the accidental reinvention of the Asian male lead

One of the best pieces on Hudson Williams that I've ever read. Insightful, well-written, intelligent.

if you're mad about the picture of hudson williams that someone found you need to grow up. he was so clearly young, intoxicated and hate crimed.

Just so we’re clear clear, we love Hudson Williams here and won’t fall for the obvious smear campaign.

If you’re first reaction to someone drawing a hate symbol on a POC’s forehead without him knowing is to blame the said POC, you’re the problem and should take a good look at yourself ! Doing that to a POC is a hate crime !

We love you Huddy 💜

First impressions of YAGA at the 2026 Bell Media Upfront | June 4, 2026

[knucklecurve]

all of hud’s best looks are designed to emphasize the contrast between his broad chest/shoulders and comparatively slimmer waist. the wide collar + cummerbund at the globes, muscle tank with french tuck at vanity fair, and a broad shoulder + nipped waist on the jacket for the oscars

this look isn’t breaking at his natural waist, which sits maybe 2 inches or so above the bottom of the jacket, so instead we’re getting this nondescript strip of skin right above his hips, which is emphasizing the widest part of his torso. the lines of the undershirt(?) and pants being lowest in the center is not helping

and the jacket is basically totally square and the trousers are a similar width the whole way down so we’re getting this straight up-and-down visual line all the way from his armpits to the floor. they made him rectangular :(

People are joking about Jacob's comment regarding the s2 budget and "the folks at Peloton will make you rich" but that is literally the strategy. Both Hudson and Connor are little artist freaks who are in film for the love of the game, and by taking these lucrative advertising deals they are ensuring they make enough money while being able to take the roles they want. Heated Rivalry doesn't pay their bills, Verizon and Peloton and Tiffany and Balenciaga do, so they can spend 8 precious weeks in Toronto this summer doing what they love. They can take roles in niche Canadian indies and fund their own projects without having to worry about making rent.

It's a joke, but it's also the point. They are both clearly giving themselves room to be picky and only take the roles they want. It's smart as fuck and I applaud them and their teams for it and won't ever judge the boys for their commercial gigs.

PSA about Balenciaga because people keep misunderstanding the current management

This is not me defending any of these fashion houses because there isn't a mega corporation in the world I trust, but if people are gonna use it to criticise Hudson, let me fucking sit you down a second.

The creepy ad happened in 2021. During that time, the Creative Director responsible for the ad was Demna Gvasalia, who has since left and moved to Gucci. The CEO of Balenciaga during that period has also left and he's now the CEO of YSL. Yes, the brand that Connor signed an exclusive contract with. They had also cut ties with the Kardashians who had become the face of the brand during the 2021 scandal and quite frankly sullied its reputation by doubling down on the ad.

Right now, Balenciaga is under completely new management. Pierpaolo Piccioli is the current Creative Director and he is the one that chose the current ambassadors and friends of the houses. Pierpaolo used to work for Valentino where he personally styled Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Rihanna, etc. for award shows and events.

My point is... the 2021 scandal was bad. What Balenciaga did then was really bad. But the current Balenciaga is not the same house. Totally different management and team.

Now, if you're going to be like, "but that doesn't mean anything! it's still Balenciaga" then bitch, I hope you have the same energy for all the houses because Balenciaga is owned by Kering who also owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Creed, Maui Jim, and Alexander McQueen.

I agree that these fashion houses are shady. They're all shady because most are owned by the same people. Everything is fucking shady. That's capitalism and greed. But that's not what we're talking about here.

well...yes 🙂‍↕️ (and exactly the type of response you give to a People reporter when you're the Hudson Williams)

whoopsee.it: Giorgio Armani’s Fall Winter 2026–2027 show was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events of Fashion Week. Among the guests, one of the most talked-about actors of the moment was hard to miss: @hudsonwilliamsofficial, star of the series Heated Rivalry. In the days leading up to the show, the actor was spotted at the Giorgio Armani boutique in the heart of Milan, fueling rumors about his attendance. A hint that proved more than well-founded. At the event, Williams perfectly embodied the quintessence of Armani style: a double-breasted tailored suit, worn relaxed and open, in shades of gray, paired with a coat casually draped over his shoulders. The result was an image of measured, sophisticated, and timeless elegance, fully in line with the Maison’s DNA. Do you like this take on contemporary classicism?

“I love what you just said, that you were looking at a stranger and feeling like you are perpetuating something that’s toxic and something that’s shallow and something that has no depth, no matter how much depth was attempted to be poured into it.” X
