“There really are gay people who live very happy, exciting, successful, creative, artistic, interesting lives in the middle of the country,” says the comedian, a scene-stealer in the sweet Thanksgiving comedy ‘Sweethearts.’
That arc may be familiar to any queer person who grew up in a small, conservative town. It’s also incredibly similar to the experience Hearon’s character goes through in the Max romantic comedy Sweethearts, directed by Dollface creator Jordan Weiss and streaming on Thanksgiving . Hearon steals every scene he’s in as Palmer, a newly out would-be college freshman coming home after his gap year in Paris to show off his fabulous new life to his hometown besties, Jamie and Ben .
“I hope that some queer person in the middle of the country who’s wondering if they can have an interesting life where they are or if they have to move to prohibitively expensive, faraway places like New York and LA—I hope they watch the movie and at least some part of them feels like they don’t have to do that.” In truth, there was only one thing Hearon didn’t relate to regarding his Sweethearts character. “The idea of me looking 18 onscreen?” he says.
