"I think to do what we do, we’re so lucky, and the moment it becomes a chore, there’s something wrong," says Tom Holland, who plays Telemachus in 'The Odysseus,' reflecting on his 20 year acting career. He's been sober since 2022 launched non-alcoholic BERO in 2024. www.gq.com/story/matt-d...

"I just wanted to make sure that I was always in love with what I was doing. I don't know if there was a moment where I doubted being in love with it, but it just felt a little bit like I was not doing my best work, because I was just going to work," said Tom Holland on preparing for life after 'Spiderman.' | Photography by Alex Prager

“There’s not a single question you can ask him that he can’t answer immediately. He’s also quite simple in the way that he works. There are times when they use fancy camera tricks and things like that, but he really does come to set and he finds the shot,” says Tom Holland on working with director Christopher Nolan | Photography by Alex Prager

“I have so much amazing stuff happening in my personal life to take me through to the rest of my life, and I feel like I have a new perspective on where I want to exist in Hollywood,” says Tom Holland | Photography by Alex Prager

“I think one of the reasons why Sony was happy to move is because Chris [Nolan] has that reputation of ‘This movie isn’t going to go five months over, and we aren’t actually going to lose Tom for two years,’ ” Holland said about Sony agreeing to push back the production of ‘Spiderman’ to film ‘The Odyssey’ in 2025. | Holland with Matt Damon and Robert Pattinson Photography by Alex Prager

"I kept saying at my costume fitting, I was like, ‘I really want to have leopard underpants.’ I want to have it just coming out of my skirt, a little sparkly fur," jokes eternal prankster Robert Pattinson, who plays Antinous in 'The Odyssey.' www.gq.com/story/matt-d...

“There’s only so many times you can reinvent your narrative in the public eye or whatever,” says Robert Pattinson of his 20+ years in the entertainment business. “And when you do it too many times, then people don’t trust you.” | Photography by Alex Prager

“It becomes more about, like, you want to have a little bit more crowd-pleasery kind of stuff. And then my instincts are just like…. I mean, my instincts for what the people want are so awful. It’s like my investment advice. Every single time I made an investment, it’s a fucking disaster,” says Robert Pattinson on working on indie and big studio films. | Photography by Alex Prager

"I’m literally going to bed so early. It’s just ridiculous. And then I saw some TikTok thing where they’re talking about going to bed early as, like, a drug addiction. They’re like, ‘Oh, have you tried going to bed at seven?’ It’s actually really fun,” says Robert Pattinson on having a young old daughter with actress Suki Waterhouse. | Photography by Alex Prager

Pattinson was coming off a blur of films—six in a row, including The Drama, Die My Love, Dune: Part Three, and The Odyssey. He plays Bruce Wayne in The Batman: Part II, scheduled to hit theaters on October 1, 2027. | Photography by Alex Prager

"I knew that this was the last chance I was ever going to have to do something like this," says Matt Damon of his physically demanding role in Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey.' Damon made over 70 films since his 1988 small role in 'Mystic Pizza' at age 18. www.gq.com/story/matt-d...

“I showed up on these locations and was like, Who fucking thought you could shoot a movie here?” says Matt Damon
In total, The Odyssey shot for 91 days in 2025, in six countries: Morocco, Greece, Italy, Iceland, Scotland, and at the Falls Lake water tank on the Universal lot, in the U.S. Director Christopher Nolan shot over 2 million feet of IMAX film. | Photo by Alex Prager

"I really adore that guy," Matt Damon says of Tom Holland, who plays his son Telemachus in 'The Odyssey.'
"He and Zendaya both, individually and together, are dealing with a lot more than I had to. And I think doing it really gracefully." | Photography by Alex Prager

“I don’t think people are going to be given the resources to shoot movies that way for much longer,” says Matt Damon. The Odyssey has a reported production budget of $250 million. | Photography by Alex Prager

"There’s been ebbs and flows," says Matt Damon on his 30+ years making movies. "It’s a feeling that I’ve wanted and finally had," he says of filming 'The Odyssey.' | Photography by Alex Prager

Rather than risking an NC-17 rating, these LGBTQ films the rating system altogether: 🎞️ Rotting in the Sun (2023) 🎞️ Interior. Leather. Bar. (2013) 🎞️ Stranger by the Lake (2013) 🎞️ Y Tu Mamá También (2001) Plus: Shortbus, I Want Your Love, The Big Gay Musical, and more www.them.us/story/unrate...

The meta-comedy 'Rotting in the Sun' stars the film’s director Sebastián Silva as a depressed, ketamine-addicted filmmaker struggling with his life, who runs into Jordan Firstman’s social-media obsessed character on a gay nudist beach in Mexico.

'Interior. Leather. Bar.' is a reconstruction of the lost scenes along with interviews with people involved in the making of 'Cruising.'

The erotic French thriller 'Stranger by the Lake' follows Franck, who falls in love with a handsome but dangerous man while exploring a popular gay cruising spot.

'Y tu mamá también' follows 17-year-old best friends Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Tenoch (Diego Luna) as they spend a summer on a cross-country escapade with a gorgeous older woman.

"Gay people love fitness as much as straight people do and I think we now have the opportunity to be out as gay and compete in this fitness event," says Jake Williamson, who won silver at HYROX World, despite a broken foot weeks before. www.outsports.com/2026/6/26/24...

Jake Williamson (left) and Hunter McIntyre recorded an impressive second-place finish at the recent HYROX World Championships in Men’s Elite15 Doubles.

HYROX has better LGBTQ representation than most sports and fitness activities. But Jake Williamson is still the only publicly out gay man competing in the Elite15.

A freak accident at his local running track left the professional athlete with a broken foot just weeks before the HYROX World Championships.

Jake Williamson “super accepted” in HYROX, as does his partner Paul, who was there in Stockholm to cheer him on.

"Now, as someone who’s had a little bit more experience in the public eye and has lived a life of fame for the last decade, I would over analyze doing something like that," says Tom Holland of the 2017 Lip Sync Battle to 'Singin’ in the Rain' & Rihanna’s 'Umbrella.' www.esquire.com/uk/culture/f...
