Jake Johnson dives into his role as an accidentally feminist ’70s porn-magazine publisher on HBO Max’s Minx. katja_vujic reports

The show centers around Doug’s clash turned collaboration with Joyce , an eager editor-hopeful working the phones at a teen magazine whose dream is to produce a feminist magazine she titles The Matriarchy Awakens . Doug convinces Joyce to work with him, combining her articles, on topics like equal pay and marital rape, with nude spreads catered to the female gaze. Yes, that means an HBO dick montage. First episode, baby.
Looking back, he recognizes that especially judgy neighbors considered his home “trashy” and “rough,” but he never bought into that perspective: “I didn’t like the suburbs. I liked my uncles, and I liked my family. As Jake, I want to like the characters I play. I want to think that they are on the right side of the world, and it’s not the world the way anybody else sees it but me.” That’s ultimately what attracted him to his Minx character.

He’s rocking a full beard, a somehow put-together-looking mussed coif, and it all comes together with a plain blue crewneck layered over a gray T-shirt, both aged but, like, in a good way.
