The actor who REALLY didn't want to play gay...
I've never even heard of "Viva Hollywood!" which apparently is a show that has actors vying for a role on a TV show. One of the male contestants named Vinci, has heightened the show's visibility with an on-screen freak-out when he was told he would have to perform a gay love scene with fellow contestant, Berto.
OK, so he didn't wanna do it but it's hardly worth CRYING over. "The scene is gay! The scene is gay!" he says in tears as others try and calm him. "I'm leaving the TV show. Put me on a plane, I'll get the f*** out of here."
Then I love this next line because it shows a clear lack of pespective of the real hardships people have to endure sometimes: "I don't want to stay. Sometimes, life throws you in positions that you don't want to be. Not even close to it."
OK Vinci, but you aren't off at war getting shot at, you don't have a disease, you haven't been sent to jail on trumped up charges. Get. A. Grip.

I imagine a perfectly not flamboyant gay crying out: “the scene is straight! The scene is straight!” Acting is not about you doing of yourself. What they did supposed? Ah, that’s all about making out with the beautiful chickens, being famous overnight, gaining tons of money, playing the macho man. Lol. What a jerk. Crying out like a little baby. Realmente un tarado, no sé de qué país es.
Does someone who has such a big issues even bother to be an actor? He better get a shrink. And a school to teach him about human sexuality. And psychology. To begin with. Tell you what: playing gay is not the worst thing in the world. No one is asking you to have a boner. Or to eat human flesh. Or to french kiss your mother. A long way to go, and he didn’t want to make a step. The scene was crappy. They would have been more than happy making some killing scene. Oh yeah.
No offence but this would never be such an issue for an Argentinean actor. Espero que eso no refuerce el estereotipo latino. Hope this will not reinforce a kind of Latin stereotype.
