Saturday Surprise: Gay Kissing Scene in 'Penny Dreadful'

In one episode of 'Penny Dreadful', Dorian Gray (played by Reeve Carney) treats Ethan Chandler’s (played by Josh Hartnett) wounds and plies him with absinthe and played the “Tristan und Isolde” Wagnerian opera. It’s the only music that still excites Dorian, specifically the “Liebestod” aria with its theme of erotic love and death.

Overwhelmed by alcohol and horrific memories, Ethan unexpectedly grabs Dorian and kisses him hard on the mouth — swapping a tuberculosis-ridden and terminally ill lover Brona Croft (Billie Piper) for one untouched by time.

Tasty Crushie Tuesday: Ben Barnes

"You are doing everything you can to force yourself to think as somebody else.
That´s what's so fascinating about acting. But it can be hard on people around you,
especially if you´re playing a tough role maybe someone going through a trauma.
Then your friends dont know how deal with you."
--- Ben's view on acting

Benjamin Thomas "Ben" Barnes (born 20 August 1981) is an English actor, best known for his portrayal of Caspian X in The Chronicles of Narnia films: "Prince Caspian" and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."
