Irish Actor Bares All for Netflix's 'House of Guinness'

Two years after a pandemic-induced hiatus, the Outfest LGBTQ+ film festival is making a comeback with a new screening series, including a 25th anniversary celebration of the beloved 1990s romantic comedy "The Broken Hearts Club."

Meanwhile, Irish actor Anthony Boyle is making waves with his bold performance in the new Netflix period drama "House of Guinness." Boyle, who has appeared in several high-profile streaming projects, had no qualms about going full frontal for his role as Arthur Guinness, the head of the famous brewing dynasty.

Despite some initial concerns about his grandmother's reaction, Boyle embraced the nudity, seeing it as an important way to authentically portray Arthur's unabashed sexuality. The series explores long-held rumors that Arthur was gay, with Boyle and the production team determined to avoid erasing LGBTQ+ figures from history.

As Boyle continues to take on challenging roles, he's also found time to indulge in some guilty pleasures, like binge-watching the reality dating show "Love is Blind." The actor admits he's captivated by the show's over-the-top drama and American sensibilities.
