Hulu / Disney +
In
Love, Victor
, a series derived from the novel and film
Love, Simon
, Michael Cimino plays a teenager who questions his sexual orientation and discovers that he is not strictly heterosexual.
In an interview with
Interlude
, spotted by
Stubborn
, the actor revealed to have received homophobic messages after this role.
“The craziest thing is that sometimes it comes from people I know,” explains the young man, who defines himself as heterosexual.
I think that shows where the world is on this, and maybe how much needed this series really is.
It opens up the conversation and that's the most important thing.
"
"Light them up as much as possible"
For the actor, the best way to respond to these homophobic messages is to try “to enlighten them as much as possible, to try to educate them.
Or you have to realize that they are ignorant and that nothing you can say will help them, unfortunately.
"
Available on Hulu in the United States,
Love, Victor
will be uploaded to Disney + Star in France from February 23.
