Hollywood finally decides what to do with Nathan Lane

“Well, Hollywood still hates gays,” he said. “So they pretend they’re not doing it, but they’re actually doing it.”

Still, he has more exciting ideas for what Lane’s A24 popularity streak will mean for the younger generation raised on Lane’s acting than the aging guard Lane first encountered. I was hoping it would show that. It’s like, “Maybe we should let gay people be stars.” ”

Meanwhile, there are “Dicks”. “Our little baby is going out into the real world where people can’t wait to be yelled at,” Lane said. “When I saw it, I said, ‘Well, this is going to become a cult favorite or we’re all going to be deported.'”

Although he doesn’t know how the film will be received, Lane did offer some marketing suggestions, saying, “I’d love to show this to Mitch McConnell, but then he’d be really stuck.” . He recorded a video warning Sharpe and Jackson that watching the film in theaters might turn the audience into homosexuals, and then asked several willing football players to become guinea pigs. instructed. And they come out of there in caftans. ”

When Lane heard that the recent comedy “Bottoms” might also be marketing to gays, the idea was vetoed, but he was thrilled to have a company. “If we can do ‘The Bottoms’ well, if we can make a high school comedy about teenage lesbians starting a fight club, we can definitely do ‘Dicks: The Musical,'” he said. Said.

With those words, the coffee date ended. And even though we meet early in the morning, just as her party-loving A24 stars are about to crawl into bed, Lane assures me it’s no problem.

“This was like therapy,” he said. “We cried, we laughed, we talked about Dicks.”
