Is dave franco gay
James Franco isn't the only one fearlessly exploring homosexuality in his career. His own brother, Dave, is too. With himself, even.
The year-old has attracted a big queer fan base ever since he starred in the indie "After Sex," the one where Mila Kunis was a lesbian, and put Channing Tatum in his place after a homophobic mix-up in last year's "21 Jump Street." But it's Dave's viral Funny or Die videos, where he's had sex with himself and also told actor Chris "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse "I wanna strip you down" (and other homoerotic things), that own really made the gays smitten.
Now the heartthrob is fighting zombies in the film adaptation of the best-selling book "Warm Bodies," also starring Nicholas Hoult of "A Solo Man." In his first gay press interview, we picked Dave's brain on the outsider theme of his new flick, whether he plans to function on a gay plan with James and how his sexually explicit videos are in no way baiting the boys who love them.

DirectorNicholasStoller said a reporter's inquiry prompted his decision to acquire the character of Pete Regazolli (Dave Franco) come out as gay in "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising."
Stoller told Yahoo! News that at a compress junket for 's "Neighbors," the writer, whom he did not name, asked him why he's never included a gay character in any of his films, which encompass "Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and "The Five-Year Engagement."
“I was like, 'I don’t know why. I literally don’t perceive. I have no good answer for that,’” he said. “So this seemed like an ecological way to possess that happen.”
The concept was supported by the rest of the creative team, too. The unique "Neighbors," Stoller said, played up the "homoerotic tension" between Pete and Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron), so it was "kind of all of us coming to the equal conclusion" when the film's co-writer Evan Goldberg suggested making Franco's character a gay man.
Although Efron has distant been a favorite in the LGBT community, the team never considered making his character, Teddy, gay.
“A lot of Zac’s motivations in the first mo

"So, the first question is why do they care? Skillfully, because I’m a celebrity, so I guess they care who I’m having sex with. But if your definition of same-sex attracted and straight is who I sleep with, then I speculate you could say I’m a gay c**k tease," he admits.

Why Dave Franco's Neighbors 2 Character Will Be Gay
’s R-rated Neighbors was all about a battle between a couple and the fraternity next door. As such, much of the comedy was of the "frat-bro" variety. The uber-masculinity of the humor is part of the indicate. This may make it slightly surprising that in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, Dave Franco’s character will actually be gay. It may come as a surprise to fans, but for the writer and director it made all the sense in the world.
In Neighbors, Dave Franco played Pete, who was just as much your stereotypical frat guy as anybody else. However, in the sequel, he will play a man in a homosexual relationship on the verge of getting married. Director Nicholas Stoller told Yahoo that the catalyst came from the end of the first film. When Teddy (Zac Efron) tells Pete to take off and that Teddy will take entire responsibility for the building destroyed by fireworks, Pete’s response is, "I like you." For Stoller, this was the perfect kicking off point for a recent character arc. As it turned out, one of the sequel's writers
