Andrew Rannells stars in the new Netflix movie The Boys in the Band alongside his real-life boyfriend Tuc Watkins and he’s opening up about how they fell in love while working together!

The two actors previously starred in the Broadway production of The Boys in the Band in 2018 and they reprised their roles for the movie.

“It’s called a show-mance. It’s when you fall in love during a show,” Andrew said while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show. “We met and I felt like such a lazy actor that I fell in love with my co-star. I was like this is so cliché.”

He added, “Also have you seen him? He’s very attractive. What was I supposed to do? Not date him? It was strange. Like the first time we kissed it was for work… but it was weird, it was like, Oh we are getting paid to do this.”

The first trailer for The Boys in the Band is here!

Ryan Murphy has produced the movie version of the Broadway play, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play last year.

Here’s a synopsis: In 1968 New York City – when being gay was still considered to be best kept behind closed doors – a group of friends gather for a raucous birthday party hosted by Michael (Jim Parsons), a screenwriter who spends and drinks too much, in honor of the sharp-dressed and sharp-tongued Harold (Zachary Quinto). Other partygoers include Donald (Matt Bomer), Michael’s former flame, now mired in self-analysis; Larry (Andrew Rannells), a randy commercial artist living with Hank (Tuc Watkins), a school teacher who has just left his wife; Bernard (Michael Benjamin Washington), a librarian tiptoeing around fraught codes of friendship alongside Emory (Robin de Jesús), a decorator who never holds back; and a guileless hustler (Charlie Carver), hired to be Harold’s gift for the night. What begins as an evening of drinks and laughs gets upended when Alan (Brian Hutchison), Michael’s straight-laced college roommate, shows up unexpectedly and each man is challenged to confront long-buried truths that threaten the foundation of the group’s tight bond.

Look out for the film on Netflix on September 30, 2020.

Ryan Murphy has produced the movie version of the Broadway play, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play last year.

The entire original cast of the Broadway revival – Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Andrew Rannells, Charlie Carver, Robin de Jesús, Brian Hutchison, Michael Benjamin Washington, and Tuc Watkins – is reprising their roles in the Netflix movie, which will be released on September 30.

The story follows a group of gay men who gather for a birthday party in 1968 New York City, only to find the drinks and laughs interrupted when a visitor from the host’s past turns the evening upside down.

The Boys in the Band, which was written by Mart Crowley, was an unexpected smash hit when it premiered on Broadway over fifty years ago.

Don Cheadle sits on stage while participating in the Black Monday panel during Showtime’s portion of the 2020 TCA Winter Press Tour at The Langham Huntington on Monday (January 13) in Pasadena, Calif.

The 55-year-old Golden Globe-winning actor was joined on the panel by his co-stars Regina Hall, Don Cheadle, Andrew Rannells, Casey Wilson and Paul Scheer, as well as creator Jordan Cahan and executive producer David Caspe.

Don and the cast unveiled the trailer for the show’s upcoming second season, which will premiere back to back episodes starring on March 15 from 10 to 11pm ET/PT.

Season one of the series followed Maurice “Mo” Monroe (Cheadle) as he and his group of outsiders took on the blue-blood, old-boys club of 1987 Wall Street, ultimately leading to the largest stock market crash in history, AKA Black Monday. Friends became enemies, traders became traitors, and two people became dead. This season focuses on the aftermath: As we begin, Dawn (Hall) and Blair (Rannells) are the bosses now, quickly learning that heavy is the head that wears the crown, especially when that head is constantly looking over its shoulder for Mo, who’s on the run with Keith (Scheer). Who will go down for the crash? Who will go down for the murders? Who will go down for fleecing Mo? All will be revealed in season two!
