'Why go up there and wear a fat suit to play a 400lb queer man?'
Franzese said that he was a fan of director Darren Aronofsky too, continuing:"I would have loved to have read for this. I mean, who knows more about being an obese queer man than an obese queer man?"
"But I guess you can go ahead and wear a fat suit and do what you got to do and get your Oscar. We'll just sit here, waiting," he added. Noting wider issues in the industry, Franzese said that"people like me and my colleagues can't really sell movies overseas if we are actually queer because the world is homophobic".
"Even if America is ready for a gay person in the lead like that, they have a hard time selling the movie overseas, so they get scared," he added."But it's going to take risk-takers and real trailblazers to let us cut our teeth in these roles as actors so we, too, can have a shot at a full career in Hollywood."is set for release on December 9 in US cinemas. A UK release date has not been announced yet.
