Watch Colton Haynes Flirt with Nick Robinson in This Deleted Love, Simon Scene
The film was almost even gayer.....
A deleted scene from the beloved gay teen rom-com Love, Simon features the one and only Colton Haynes!
The new clip begins with characters Nick and Simon awkwardly hanging around in a gay club.
"I think that guy is checking me out," says Nick.
Simon rolls his eyes. "You've said that about literally every guy since we got here."
"Well, what can I say? The gays love me!"
At that moment, Kevin (Colton Haynes) walks up and "confuses" Simon for someone named Alex. You'll have to watch the rest of the scene yourself.
But why was the scene deleted?
Gay Star News reports that the whole sequence didn't quite fit into the film's story. "It just slowed down the narrative," said director Greg Berlanti. "It felt like we were jumping the gun about what his experience was."
Screenwriter Isaac Aptaker agreed."There was a big sequence that we wrote and filmed where Nick takes Simon out to a gay bar after he comes out and before he goes back to school for his first day," he explained to The Hollywood Reporter. "The guys were great in it, and Greg did a great job with it, but in terms of the momentum of the movie, it was this long sequence that took you out of the world we'd been in." He added, "It messed up the pacing and the momentum of the movie, so we had to cut it."
