Hot New (Gay) Hockey Series on CRAVE: Heated Rivalry

[Becket]

I have spent hours watching the various YouTube videos people have created using either scenes from the show or "in real life" snipits from the now very busy lives of Storie and Williams. From the obsessed fan's perspective I have come to the conclusion that both leads are having the time of their lives. Also I am more and more impressed with the pure acting chops of both guys. Storie IRL is completely different in personality and behavior than Ilya Rosenov, so what he is displaying on screen is just amazing. Plus the ability to speak Russian so well in such a short time (especially the scene where he is on the phone describing to Shane his true feelings) is jaw dropping. Williams best strength is his ability to communicate a wide range of emotions and "dialogue" without saying a word. The things he tells us using only his eyes and ears are extensive, and add so much to the story and character development.

So many disappointed gay men (and straight women) right now. 
 

 

I'm surprised it hasn't been commented on already.

In Red White and Royal Blue no lubricant at all was indicated, and the bottom acted as if he were a seasoned veteran. 

 

He was.  It's much clearer in the book, but my memory is that in the movie he said something to Alex about "you're in good hands" or something else indicating that he was not an anal virgin.

Henry, a man who’s known he’s gay for his entire adult life, proposes to Alex that they “make love” that night. Alex, a man who’s only just come to terms with the fact he’s bisexual, is understandably nervous. After a crack about Henry’s word choice (“Who says ‘make love’ these days? Are we going to listen to Lana Del Ray while we do it?”), all of Alex’s usual bravado falls away. He’s suddenly soft and unsure. “It’s just…” he says, hesitating. “Who’s gonna… do what? Because I’m— I’ve never— Oh my god, I’m so not playing this cool right now.”

“I went to an English boarding school, dear,” Henry quips. “Trust me, you’re in good hands.”
