“I can’t help but get excited. I’m very flattered that it’s me [starring in the film]. I could never have imagined that. I didn’t even realize many of those stats when we sold the movie to Universal or while we were working on the movie, which we’ve been developing for years now. It’s very exciting, but at the same time, yes, it’s bittersweet. It’s also a little maddening at the same time, because there’s no reason it took so long. I mean, the first gay man to write and star in his own studio movie, how is that possible? These studios have been around for a century, some of them, and yet it took so long. I think we have to recognize that it shouldn’t have taken that long, but also celebrate the fact that it is finally happening. – Actor and comedian Billy Eichner, expressing his frustration and joy that his new comedy BROS is the first studio-produced romantic comedy focused on gay people. In the same interview with Insider, Eichner also revealed that the production will only pick gay actors in the lead roles.
