Exclusive: Legacies star Zane Phillips teases ‘dramatic’ Fire Island character
Zane Phillips’ character in Fire Island is a far cry from his brooding yet loveable demigod on Legacies. The actor, who recently rose to fame as Ben/Prometheus on the The CW drama, is making his feature-film debut in the Andrew Ahn-directed comedy, which launches 3 June in the UK on Disney Plus.
Inspired by Jane Austen’s iconic novel Pride and Prejudice, Fire Island is led by Joel Kim Booster (who also wrote the film) as Noah, who embarks on a week-long vacation with his queer circle to the titular LGBTQ+ hotspot in New York.
The highly-anticipated film also stars Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, Margaret Cho, James Scully, Torian Miller, Tomás Matos and Nick Adams.
In the brand new issue of GAY TIMES, Zane reveals that his character Dex is a “sex-positive man” with an OnlyFans who ‘thinks’ he’s socially progressive. “There’s a certain brand of boy where they’re good-looking and know the power that comes with that,” he says, “and they become uncomfortable when they can’t really express that power.
