Jensen Atwood Talks Bicurious, Bisexuals, and, Metrosexuals

The November issue of Clik features our cover profile on the über-gorgeous Jensen Atwood—the newest addition to the third season of Dante's Cove which debuts tonight on here! The issue is being shipped from the binders and will drop over the weekend and on Monday. So more on the Jensen Atwood cover and profile next week,

Meanwhile ... After Elton publishes a revealing interview with the pec-alicious Atwood, who, as we noted before, is cast as the bisexual warlock "Griffin" on the supernatural-themed soap opera. The interview was conducted by actor Charlie David, who plays "Toby" and has some behind-the-scenes perspective on Jensen and the show. Especially on the former football player's reluctance to "play" with the cast, and, his thoughts on bisexuals and the bicurious.

Now all the boys and girls liked to toss around the football except for you and Reichen. Care to explain yourself?
I had a great time with all of the cast. It was torture to watch you guys toss the football around. I love football. But as you know I chose to keep my fingernails long for the character. So playing catch would have jeopardized the continuity. Okay, okay. Basically, I didn't want to break a nail. The first description sounded better though.

Do you think it’s common for straight guys to consider having an encounter with another guy, especially in light of gay and alternative culture being so chic right now?
JA: No, I don't think that's common for a straight guy at all. But because of the gay and alternative culture becoming more mainstream, I think it leaves room for those that aren't sure of their sexuality. Or for those whose sexuality isn't as simple as gay or straight.

"Those whose sexuality isn't as simple as gay or straight" more or less sums up Atwood's characters in Noah's Arc and Dante's Cove. More in the After Elton interview, which touches on Noah's Arc and recent reports that suggest the series is coming to the big screen. Our take is different than the After Elton piece, so, get their perspective and next week read ours here and in the new Clik.

Boy, Rod, sometimes it must be hard....ur...difficult to do your job!:)

Jensen is totally gorgeous, I love him.On a related note, if they do go ahead with a movie and he is not included, they may have a very big problem.

Jensen Atwood is the ONLY reason to watch a Noah's Arc movie. He is just beautiful.

[cindy]

not only for gay, straight or lesbain, i think to be bisexual is also fantastic. Yes, i have the unforgetable experience with them on bimingle.com, which really make me happy

I just started watching Noah's Arc and have spent all weekend getting through Seasons 1 and 2! I remember when you used to blog about it, but we don't have Logo here in Canada. Thank God for DVDs! Anyhow, love the show!! SO much better than Dante's Cove, in my opinion!

[yeeeaah]

i would have to disagree with atwood. i think it's very common for straight men to be curious. the word "straight" is a label imposed by a conservative religious right society and does not represent natural human sexual behaviors, curiosities, etc.
