Théodore pellerin gay
I started watching Drag Race when I knew that the film was coming together, and then Sophie and I started going to Mado in Montreal, the famous bar. The resolution we hopefully reach is that he is able to see things with a bit more clarity, which is what puts him on track to be a better artist.
In the relationship we see the evolution of someone falling apart and being disintegrated bit by bit, but parallel to that we see him as someone who shines in drag and onstage, and that was, to her, an attractive parallel. Of course, it was completely different, but that was my first drag experience, per se.
Did you watch Drag Race beforehand, or where did you look for inspiration? You could not have the drag persona without knowing who Simon is for that reason. Had you done anything remotely near drag before? Doing it at a high level is so incredibly impressive to me.
But I was following what Sophie wanted and what was needed for the part. Finding your drag takes years and such huge work, and it really is then an extension of the artist and performer. Pellerin plays both characters with the understanding and nuance that they deserve as layered queer people, and he recently spoke to Vogue about them.
I think that what interested Sophie was bringing these two worlds together. Simon undergoes an important emotional journey that is manifested in his drag but is not just about it. It made sense for all of it to happen together. What was it like to perform a performer?
Théodore Pellerin (French: [teɔdɔʁ pɛl (ə)ʁɛ̃], born June 13, ) is a Canadian film and television actor from Quebec. [1] He is most noted for his performance in the film Family First (Chien de garde), for which he won the Prix Iris for Revelation of the Year at the 20th Quebec Cinema Awards, [2] and the Canadian Screen Award.
The heart of it really lies somewhere else, so my work was also a lot of that. I needed to feel like I was not just playing a version of it but allowing myself to open up and enjoy it and having no shame. It was important to understand Simon before defining the drag aspect.
Well, you have a future. As you can imagine we are very excited about it here at Vogue. She started telling me about the idea gay twinks top Solo I think two years before we started shooting.
His drag comes from him. It also depended on who was going to play Oliver and what their drag would be like. His drag has changed too. Lurker Taught Théodore Pellerin About The Dark Side of Obsession The star of the new indie hit opens up about celebrity worship, gay gay, and how playing dark characters affects him personally.
Do you start with Simon and go into the drag or the other way around? At the climax of Sophie Dupuis’s new film, Solo, Simon, a young queer man and working drag queen in Montreal, played by an affecting Théodore Pellerin, has just reemerged from a toxic, all.
We started physical work in September and then started shooting in Théodore, so it was me trying to get the ball rolling and seeing if I was able to walk in heels and a lot pellerin table work and rehearsal, which is how Sophie likes to work with her actors.
It was a completely liberating experience.
