Gus Kenworthy’s gay kiss scene was cut from new Tom Brady movie

The out Olympic heartthrob thinks his kiss was cut to placate Middle America.

At first glance, the film “80 for Brady” doesn’t seem like it has much to offer gay moviegoers. But the cast list says otherwise.

The movie stars icons Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Lilly Tomlin and Sally Field as four octogenarian New England Patriots super fans who make the trek to Atlanta to see the all-time great quarterback pull off a historic comeback Super Bowl win. And if that’s not enough, Billy Porter plays a halftime show choreographer.

But apparently, the movie’s original version went even further: In a steamy cameo, Olympic heartthrob Gus Kenworthy makes out with his boyfriend, played by actor Brian Jordan. ... Unfortunately, the scene was cut from the final product, reports Variety.

Kenworthy thinks the edit was about more than trimming some time. ... “They said they had to cut it for time, but I think they cut it for Middle America,” he told Variety.

This tidbit makes my decision even more correct (for me)....Sorry these fine progressive ladies chose to back a racist, homophobic Trump supporter like him...
