Gay Dancer Nick is Behind Deadpool’s *NSYNC Dance






In a delightful twist, it turns out that the slick moves of Deadpool in the latest superhero blockbuster, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” were not performed by Ryan Reynolds himself, Queerty writes.

Instead, the dance sequence to NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye,” which has caught the attention of many, was the work of Nick Pauley, a talented queer dancer and choreographer.

This revelation adds a queer sparkle to the movie’s action-packed opening scene, showcasing Deadpool battling foes while flawlessly executing iconic choreography .

Pauley’s involvement in the film has been celebrated not just for his impressive dance skills but also for bringing a touch of queer representation to the superhero genre.

Known for his work with high-profile artists like Doja Cat and Katy Perry, and even a memorable performance alongside Meryl Streep in “The Prom,” Pauley has a knack for making waves on and off the stage.

His journey to this point hasn’t been without its challenges, including standing up against conservative backlash following his participation in Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ controversial Grammys performance.

Pauley shared his excitement and gratitude on social media, thanking Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy for their support.

He expressed how being part of the movie was a surreal experience and highlighted the welcoming environment on set, which made him feel “right at home” .

Pauley wrote, “It’s true! I am Dancepool in the new “Deadpool and Wolverine” 🥹 This secret has been so hard to keep! I can’t believe I have the honor of being @vancityreynolds “dance” double for the opening scene of the entire movie!!! Like what?!? What is life?”

“Deadpool & Wolverine” has been praised for its R-rated humor and action, staying true to Deadpool’s irreverent style, but also received criticism for some tasteless gay banter.

Hopefully the movie’s playful yet meaningful inclusion of queer talent like Pauley adds a layer of depth to the otherwise over-the-top narrative.

For those of us who love to see our community represented in big ways, Nick Pauley’s role as “Dancepool” is a celebratory moment—both on-screen and behind the scenes.

It’s not just about the dance moves but the recognition and visibility of queer performers in major Hollywood productions. So, if you haven’t seen the movie yet, maybe it’s time to grab a ticket and witness this fab moment for yourself!

Queer Vampire Lore: Teaser for Interview with the Vampire S3






The latest teaser for Season 3 of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” has not only excited fans with its rockstar Lestat, but also highlighted the show’s commitment to exploring its queer undertones.

The series has always been celebrated for its rich, homoerotic subtext, but the recent adaptation has been refreshingly open about the romantic and sexual dynamics between its characters, particularly the relationship between Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid).

Anne Rice’s original novels were groundbreaking for their portrayal of queer characters in a gothic, supernatural context, long before LGBTQ+ representation became more commonplace in mainstream media.

The AMC adaptation embraces this legacy, presenting a more overt exploration of the characters’ complex relationships.

Louis and Lestat’s bond is depicted not just as a vampire-progeny dynamic but as a deeply emotional and tumultuous romantic relationship, filled with passion, conflict, and love.

Season 2, which saw Louis and Claudia grappling with Lestat’s haunting memory while navigating the intricate politics of vampire society in Paris, set the stage for a more nuanced portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.

The upcoming season, which draws from Rice’s “The Vampire Lestat,” is expected to delve even deeper into these dynamics, with Lestat’s new rockstar persona offering a flamboyant, defiant expression of his identity.

Fans have enthusiastically embraced the series’ approach, celebrating the “gay as hell” portrayal of these beloved characters.

The show has resonated particularly with those who see reflections of their own experiences in the immortal struggles and loves of the characters.

The anticipation for Season 3 is palpable, as audiences look forward to more of the richly layered storytelling that intertwines horror, romance, and queer identity.

As we await the next season, it’s clear that “Interview with the Vampire” continues to be a vital and vibrant part of LGBTQ+ pop culture, offering both representation and a space for reflection on love, identity, and power.

Keep an eye out for the season’s premiere (date still unknown) to see how Lestat’s journey unfolds and what new facets of queer life the show will explore.
