Jordan Firstman’s directorial debut, Club Kid, has officially dropped in select theaters, which means he’s outside on a whole other level. The writer/director/actor (in that order, according to Jordan) is actively campaigning as the film gains some awards season buzz. Of course, his press tour includes some light flirting with Fleabag’s Hot Priest himself, Andrew Scott.
The duo caught up for Interview magazine at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6, and let’s just say they dropped incredible lore during their flirty exchange. If the banter wasn’t bantering enough, Jordan and Andrew revealed they secretly went on a few dates during the COVID-19 pandemic a few years ago. After Jordan shared he was “gagged” upon finding out Andrew wasn’t straight, the Elsinore actor playfully asked, “Were you pleased?” (Don’t mind me, just kicking my feet and giggling at this entire interaction.) “Obviously.
You know I used to have the biggest crush on you,” Jordan admitted, adding that it apparently fizzled out when they ran into each other at an industry party. He continued, “I was like, ‘I feel like this is just not going to happen.’ I still think we flirt every time we see each other.” Andrew confirmed the flirty vibes are still active, and gushed about their “excellent” pandemic dates and banter. Jordan didn’t hold back, either.
When they first started messaging a few years ago, the I Love LA star dished, “I just was gagged. I was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m texting with a hot priest.’ I’m like, ‘This is my husband, a hundred percent going to happen.’” “But I belong to the church,” Andrew quipped. If he means he belongs to the church in the sense that he and Jordan are standing at the altar exchanging vows…I would like to see it!
Or, at the very least, some cheeky red carpet moments.
