'We're doing the first gay rom-com ever made by a major studio.'
actor revealed that when he first started writing the rom-com – back in 2017 – he assumed his love interest would have been"played by a famous straight actor".
"It was a different time," he said."We weren't talking about diversity and inclusion as much as we are now." But luckily both the creative team behind the movie and Universal Studios soon came to the mutual agreement that"as the movie was developing, it didn't make sense for the other lead actor to be played by a straight actor".
"That was going against everything the movie was trying to say," added Eichner."And then I said to Nick Stoller, once that decision was made, that the entire cast should be openly LGBTQ+ actors, including in the straight roles. "On a cultural level, it's a powerful statement to make. But on a practical level, we're doing the first gay rom-com ever made by a major studio, and most of the characters in it are LGBTQ+."
