Jonathan Groff

Is that right?

I saw it on the internet, but who knows?

Yeah, it was like I'm really riding the wave here of life and of progress.

And when they initially sent me that audition, I said no.

I felt scared to be gay on a TV show, wanting to be out publicly and another thing to be like eating ass on TV.

It's like, I'm gay.

And then it's like, okay, Groff, we get it.

They see me in different positions.

But it's funny because... You didn't care.

No.

In Spring Awakening, I was like, let's go.

Oh, that's true.

You already did that.

I felt a kind of like safety with women because they didn't feel like there was as much at stake and we could really like go for it.

It felt like in some ways like it felt like

back then like like what i wished i was like like wishing i wasn't gay wishing i was straight and it was like this is who i wish i could be it felt like dreaming it like like changing who i was like a fantasy of what i wished i could be but then when they send me these scripts and it's

actually how I am, it's, it then does become a little bit scary.

Yeah.

But I'd seen Andrew Haig when he became attached as the director, I'd seen his film weekend at the IFC on sixth Avenue.

And I was like a wreck, like crying in that movie theater.
