Daniel Franzese says it’s time to usher in a new season of celebrating bigger gay dudes — on the heels of Hot Girl Summer — because it’s long-overdue, especially in showbiz!
The ‘Mean Girls’ actor was leaving LAX Tuesday, where we asked about a recent social media clip of him diving into a pool shirtless. Daniel’s captioned it, “Reclaiming my childhood spent wearing a shirt in the pool growing up in Florida. Not giving a F*CK what people think feels so good.”
Daniel broke down the post for us, and said it was about more than body-positivity — it was about getting heavier set gay men off the sidle lines.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He says gay men in the media are often portrayed as trim, fit and with a certain look, but he says he’s living proof gay comes in all sizes … and all deserve some visibility.
Or as Daniel put it on IG, “It’s #bigboysummer and soaking up every last minute until #bigandtallfall. #BellyOutchallenge.”
He tells us if bigger people were featured more often on TV and the big screen, he’d probably be working a lot more, and the way folks view fat people would change for the better.
Something tells us Bill Maher would disagree … but that’s a debate for another time.
