Jason Chambers talks with DNA mag about being gay eye candy...
The current issue of Australia's DNA Magazine (the one with Ryan Barry on the cover) also includes a fun Q&A with "Human Weapon" host Jason Chambers under the "Our Straight Mates" column. Here are some of the answers:
On being gay eye candy: "I love fans. Guys, girls, whatever...I just love them in different ways!"
On having gay friends: "I have several. When I first moved to LA, my roomate was a 41-year-old gay guy. Naturally, on my first night, I was really excited to see the night life, so I asked him to show me around. It was funny because our definition of where the action was was slightly different, as you can imagine.
On his gaydar: "I'd say I'm pretty good, although I've been fooled on one or two occasions. I had a friend in NYC who I used to go to bars and play football with. One day he told me he was bi and had a little crush on me. It didn't bother me but I was surprised. I guess I should have figured it out when he always wanted to play football naked, huh?"
On being hit on by guys: It happens "once in awhile, but I usually get more looks than actual pick-up attempts."
Has he been mistaken for gay? "It hasn't happened in a long time. But when I was younger, I was more of a boy band wannabe. I know, horrid, right? Lately, I think the closest gay reference I've had is when my friends joke around at some of my magazine pics!"
Who would he turn gay for? "If Jessica Alba was a man...any day of the week baby!"
OK, that last answer would indicate to me that Jason might not as secure in his sexuality as he'd have you think. I mean, c'mon, most straight guys will admit to turning gay for someone like Brad Pitt or Eric Bana. Everyone has a same-sex crush! I've even admitted that I'd go out with Rosario Dawson for gosh sakes!
