Garrett Clayton, surely one of the best-looking actors ever to emerge from Disney Channel, will next be seen in the James Franco-powered King Cobra, all about the sordid murder of porn impresario Bryan Kocis. Clayton plays porn star Brent Corrigan, who had zero to do with the film, written and directed by Justin Kelly, who somehow found something positive to say about ex-gay nut job Michael Glatze in I Am Michael.

Clayton chats with Out about his racy role, saying:

I initially got a call for the movie from my manager saying ‘There’s a pretty risqué role for this film. They want you to meet with the director for it. I’ll send the script. Give it a read and let me know what you think.’ And I read it and I’m like, ‘Ha, I’m not doing this.’ And then looking it up because I didn’t really know anything about it, I guess because I was in middle school when it happened, (laughs) I don’t know, I guess I freaked out. And I was like ‘I’m definitely not doing this.’

No idea if the film is any good (guessing not), but at least we'll have scads of shots of Clayton half-naked and pretending to have gay sex, albeit with Christian Slater.
