Gay Belfast Hunk of the Month

Nicholas Hoult was on born 7 December 1989 and is the English actor with roles in Nick Hornby's About a Boy, Channel 4's drugs-and-sex-drenched teen drama Skins and more recently the Tom Ford movie A Single Man, based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. The film also stars Colin Firth, Matthew Goode, and Julianne Moore. Nicholas plays the role of Kenny, a student who takes an interest in his gay professor after he loses his partner of 16 years.

Now, Nicholas Hoult is set to crack Hollywood with a new role in the upcoming CGI blockbuster Clash of the Titans and other big budget film role. Yes the 6ft 3in actor is going far with fab classic movie star looks and talent that keep him busy.

Chris Weitz, who co-directed About a Boy and produced A Single Man, thinks there are several reasons for Hoult's transformation from child actor to star: "Arbitrarily, he turned from the shrimp who came up to my armpit to the hunk who towers above me, and while his looks have matured, they've remained inherently interesting and unconventional. On his own, though, he's shown that the naturalness of his performance as a 12-year-old was not a fluke. He's willing to do a tremendous amount of work to get a performance right."

Kirk McCambley, the ex toyboy lover of homophobic MP, Iris Robinson deserves a place in our hunky hall of fame. With Playgirl and Attitude chasing Kirk McCambley its not just the Gay Belfast team that thinks so. Playgirl's director of marketing Daniel Nardicio told the Belfast Telegraph that McCambley was "very attractive". He said: "He's Irish, he's good-looking and the toppling of a political dynasty is just great." The Belfast's Campbell College educated Casanova is also a gay club regular, contrary to the controversial views of his ex-lover, Kirk often frequented Belfast's top gay nightclub, The Kremlin.

Last month the BBC Northern Ireland documentary 'Spotlight' revealed that Kirk McCambley was 19 when the pair became lovers. Kirk now 21 owns the Lock Keeper's Inn in south Belfast which has become a tourist attraction since the revelations that have been reported throughout the world. He is also the darling of facebook with the 'Kirk 'God' McCambley Appreciation Society' attracting thousands of visitors. The facebook site claims to be dedicated to the 19 year old victim of Iris 'Cougar' Robinson.

The absence of information always breeds speculation — and Kirk McCambley certainly knows that now. His sensational affair with Iris Robinson may have been on everyone else's lips, but both parties have maintained a stolid silence since the news broke. The young stud could earn hundreds of thousands of pounds by dishing the dirt on former lover Iris Robinson, but it’s business as usual for Kirk McCambley at the Lock Keeper’s Inn on the banks of the River Lagan. The fling ended leaving Iris Robinson the married mum-of-three heartbroken after five months when he dumped her.

In Jesse Rosen's feature-film debut, The Art Of Being Straight , 23-year-old Jon (played by Rosen himself), recently arrived in Los Angeles after leaving behind his girlfriend in New York, discovers that Southern California has more than sunshine and hot chicks to offer. Like, a hot-in-the-pants (male) boss who simply won't take no for an answer. So, that leads to a kiss, which leads to some more intimate stuff, which leads to self-denial, identity issues, and problems with anti-gay buddies. Jesse Rosen

Being straight - if you ain't, really - is not just an art form. In fact, it's a chore.

In writer-director Rosen's laidback, unpretentious dramatic comedy, which is currently available at Amazon on DVD, characters must come to terms not only with who they are, but with who others think they are. That's no easy task, and Rosen has a generally capable cast helping him convey that message. Particularly good is Rachel Castillo's Maddy, who identifies herself as a lesbian but who doesn't hesitate (too much) to become physically close with the (male) history teacher next door.

What I liked best about The Art of Being Straight, is Rosen's refusal to label his characters. Jon may come across to some as a closeted gay man, but just because he's in denial about his attraction to other men doesn't necessarily negate the possibility that he may be into women as well. Even the straight buddies come across as less hetero than they pride themselves to be, considering their obsession with who's gay who isn't, what's gay what isn't.
