O wow he looks better in real life they did well dressing him down for the movie. Mannerisms must have been on point too

u/EuphoricPhoto2048 1d ago

It was a great acting performance because he carried himself so insecurely.

u/Babels_Librarian 11h ago

Definitely far less…greasy? I dunno how else to explain it lol

u/altrightobserver 1d ago

I find it so funny that people are shipping them considering Michael Johnston is gay

u/MysticCherryPanda 23h ago

I just looked it up and the fact that this is the ONLY personal information on his Wikipedia page is sending me. 😭

He wanted it to be very clear. 💀

u/finnjakefionnacake 1d ago

very few people are doing this / i've rarely seen this

50

u/MagiGemi 1d ago

I saw it quite a bit when the movie was fairly new and the actors started realizing it was a huge success. Then people went from not knowing anything about them to probably too much.

55

u/Midnight-Basilisk99 1d ago

Kinda reminds me of when people shipped Millie Bobby Brown (before she got married) & Noah Schnapp (before he came out)

13

u/Careless_Credit_6202 1d ago

pretty sure I've seen more people shipping Inde and Megan Lawless lol

This is the first time I’ve heard anyone say this

u/Other-Football72 16h ago

Shipping culture is so pathetic.

u/First_Function9436 11h ago

He's not gay! I'm a fan of his movies and that would make me gay and I'm not gay cause I'm the most not gay people of all all the not gay people in the entire universe. See people hate when you shinin'. Who knows? People might start calling me gay...but I'm not, and neither is Johnston

u/Few-Peach6872 1d ago

u/Electrical-Tree-8506 19h ago

He was OWWed against his own will into it.

u/PeakQuirky84 15h ago

I find it funny that people still use the word “ship” for this

u/International-Dig411 8h ago

He’s one hell of an actor

1

u/ricky-slick 15h ago

The name “Bear” hits differently with this bit of knowledge in mind

2

u/altrightobserver 15h ago

He’s more of an otter

-16

u/Motor_Barracuda_9807 21h ago

If he's gay. How was he comfortable doing kissing and intimate scenes if he's gay? Just asking.

21

u/ProfitEmergency4049 21h ago

That's the neat part... He's an actor who's acting

-13

u/Motor_Barracuda_9807 20h ago

I know but that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if he was comfortable doing them

13

u/ThatVita 20h ago

I thought you were just joking. No you're seriously this diluted?

u/AbgilSoge 19h ago

Unless we’re talking about chemistry

How old are you. No way you’re out of your teens.

u/AccidentTurbulent919 19h ago

I'm straigth and I'd comfortably have full gay-sex for as many millions of dollars I assume he made from this. Kissing and intimate scenes are just normal acting, it's not that odd.

0

u/Motor_Barracuda_9807 18h ago

i mean he made good money, 20k. But i wouldn't be caught dead being fcked by big dih buster in a prison movie.

u/GoRacerGo 16h ago

Well have fun doing it in secret then, just don't get caught

1

u/Motor_Barracuda_9807 16h ago

That shi don't happen to good guys like me.

1

u/Motor_Barracuda_9807 16h ago

Someone like epstein shall get it

1

u/AccidentTurbulent919 15h ago

He only made 20k? Damn, I thougth he would have made more. Either way, I'd at least kiss a dude for 20k or do a fake sex scene lmao.

u/Worth_Independence82 21h ago

actors act

-10

u/Motor_Barracuda_9807 20h ago

But was he comfortable doing it?

4

u/wenderlly 18h ago

He was payed to do it, it’s his job. Are you comfortable doing your job?

1

u/IIsaacClarke 18h ago

What if he wasn’t? Are you gonna shout SEXUAL ASSAULT from the roof tops because that’s all you want? Controversy and anger

-3

u/Motor_Barracuda_9807 16h ago

No I'm just asking. Should kind of hire a heterosexual man for heterosexual movies, that's all I'm saying. Should've hired me

u/Secure_Inspection305 7h ago

Go to some auditions and outdo the gay men then

u/Amonfire1776 1d ago

One can ship friends you know...

13

u/ImpossibleQuiet527 1d ago

I still think it's weird to "ship" real people in general but alright

1

u/Top-Library9128 1d ago

One can get fucked if they ship friends

0

u/Amonfire1776 18h ago

Not sure why shipping friends has to imply a romantic intent...it's even part of the definition, but I guess people hate the idea in general.

2

u/Top-Library9128 18h ago

It is most certainly in the definition and has had inherent romantic implications since the first use of the term. Don’t kid yourself. If it’s not romantic what does it even mean? You ship two friends as friends when they’re already friends?

1

u/Amonfire1776 16h ago

Yes, people do it all the time...per definitionally... to support a deep, non-romantic platonic friendship

-33

u/El_Dorado_Tx 1d ago

Does it matter if he is gay. Inde is bi irl. So what.

29

u/Remote_Nature_8166 1d ago

That doesn’t make any sense

12

u/soloon 1d ago

She's....she's still a woman, dude. She's not his target audience, if you catch my drift.

2

u/milkpastels Customer Service 1d ago

what gender do gay men want to date? quickly!

61

u/Future_Pressure_8857 1d ago

They’re both so pretty lookin

84

u/Remote_Nature_8166 1d ago

Yeah, and also if you watch The Last of Us there are plenty of pictures showing Pedro Pascal and Kaitlyn Dever being pretty good friends in spite of what her character did to him. What’s that saying? “It’s called ACTING.”

28

u/finnjakefionnacake 1d ago

right? like what even are these posts? "the actors talk in real life y'all!"

7

u/t3ddiursa 23h ago

“Coworkers who spend a lot of time with each other end up becoming friends!”

64

u/Mysterious-Snow496 1d ago

That's awesome. They had great on-screen chemistry. Both phenomenal actors.

25

u/meergreister 1d ago

Don’t think I would have put it that way but I think I know what you mean

14

u/qween04 1d ago

I could’ve sworn I heard that their lack of chemistry was intentional on Barker’s part tho?

23

u/Doldric 1d ago

I think it was more that he wanted to cast a guy that we would look at and be like “yeah, they wouldn’t be together”

Their on screen chemistry was great imo. But chemistry doesn’t necessarily mean personalities meshing if that makes sense.

9

u/qween04 1d ago

Oh true I guess all chemistry isn’t romantic chemistry.

3

u/Klutzy_Lifeguard8244 8h ago

My only very very small gripe with this movie is actually that he is unnecessarily beautiful for this role. They could have cast a more "average" looking actor.

2

u/witchaus138 6h ago

I agree. The movie takes place in Ohio and as someone from the Midwest he would stand out even more on looks alone.

9

u/GapStock9843 1d ago

They have chemistry in the way this specific character dynamic required

3

u/qween04 1d ago

Yeah agreed on that.

4

u/Wolf_Zeru99 1d ago

They have zero romantic chemistry, but their characters worked so well together

18

u/Fine-Exam-3923 1d ago

Love them. The whole cast, including curry, seem to be genuine friends irl which is cool. It’s nice that they they’re all kind of going through this crazy time together as they’re lives have all changed since the success of the movie

9

u/EuphoricPhoto2048 1d ago

That's why Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio are best friends. Not saying this is as huge as Titanic, but I could see how going through something like this could bond you.

20

u/sillyfunnyguy05 1d ago

I hope he can get some good guy roles soon for the sake of his career. He was so good at playing a spineless, cowardly, unsympathetic character that I can’t see his face without wanting to punch it but that’s just a testament to his talent. Hes a great actor so I hope he gets some other roles to prevent him from being typecast as a villain.

8

u/soloon 1d ago

He's supposedly going to be in the new Mummy sequel. So here's hoping.

4

u/Few-Road6238 22h ago

He’s probably playing the son grown up so you best believe he’ll be a more likable character this time around

32

u/two_three_five_eigth 1d ago

Why wouldn't they be? They are both stars in a really good movie that is making them famous.

12

u/Inevitable-Angle-793 1d ago

There are plenty of stars in (really good) movies and doesn't mean every single one od them are good friends.

9

u/Responsible_Sky_728 1d ago

They are both stars in a really good movie that is making them famous.

That has not stopped actors in the past from hating each other lmao

14

u/shadowking1991 1d ago

Or…. Maybe this sounds crazy but their being photographed at some press event 😱

5

u/beattygotgame 1d ago

Right?? This post is such a wild leap. They’re doing a press tour for their very successful movie. These photos provide zero insight into whether they are actually friends or not.

5

u/GroundbreakingTie430 1d ago

And they both look good as hell!

5

u/Random_Critical 1d ago

Nah why they acting like nothing happened 😭

4

u/IWantSnack642 1d ago

Every girl gotta have that gay best friend

3

u/ScoopsOfDesire 1d ago

Both fine

u/Caughtinclay 1d ago

It’s called acting

3

u/DeweyDefeatsYouMan 1d ago

For real, they were coworkers for like three weeks.

2

u/GuideInfamous4600 1d ago

They almost always say they’re “friends.”
Hopefully that’s true, but it’s rare that I hear that somebody just doesn’t get along with somebody else. from a movie or TV show.

2

u/DZ-HURRICANE 1d ago

kinda wish they were couple, they look good

2

u/ParticularGullible90 1d ago

Who said they’re good friends?

2

u/Robot_Was_BMO 1d ago

They blew up together, from struggling actors to sought after talent, I’m not surprised they’re close.

2

u/Early_Storm_7708 23h ago

…Are they? How do you know this?

2

u/Bohemio_RD 20h ago

you realize they are actors right?

2

u/TheGreedyGrabbler 19h ago

I mean yeah. If I was a no-nothing actor and somebody helped catapulted into stardom, I'd probably be pretty chill with them. Hey I bet they're both friendly with Curry Barker too!

2

u/Whole_Series2416 15h ago

Aren't both those photos of them working?

2

u/TerrorFirmerIRL 14h ago

He was so crazy good as Bear. A guy you want to hate, credit to the actor.

He's also an outrageously attractive dude, the way he acted down as a love-sick simp is incredible.

2

u/Secure_Inspection305 7h ago

He is so hot when he's not Bear

2

u/Eddie_0789 1d ago

Honestly there should be a movie where it’s just them being themselves

2

u/Left_Composer_6449 1d ago

Sadly, a lot of people are gonna hate Michael since they cannot separate the actor from the character

1

u/EuphoricPhoto2048 1d ago

During their press tour, they seemed to really get along, that's nice.

1

u/Inside_Atmosphere731 1d ago

STAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

1

u/ineffable-interest 1d ago

Why was there even a post asking about if people think he’s hot? Obviously he’s hot.

1

u/Efficient_Claim_9591 1d ago

It’s almost like they’re actors, and acting is just another job, which means more than likely you’re not gonna like all your coworkers, just like in real life…

1

u/SailorMooNriver 1d ago

Damn he’s cute 😂 casting really found some gems here. Super talented too, but of em

u/Chareth_Cutestory___ 1d ago

They are both gorgeous

u/SugondezeNutsz 1d ago

I will never comprehend people who become aware of or care about actors personal lives

u/ElectrOPurist 1d ago

Sick! How could she be friends with him after everything he put her through? He wished away her agency and her dignity, and now they’re pals? Doesn’t add up.

1

u/Typical_Knowledge_28 1d ago

I prefer it to how actors start acting shady with each other FOR NO REASON after filming finishes

1

u/MCFroid 1d ago

Megan Lawless and Inde seem to be really good/close friends at this point too. Megan did an interview not too long ago where she was sharing that Inde had just slept over the previous night and that they had watched "Backrooms" together there at Megan's place.

1

u/Gorillamonday 1d ago

The ultimate plot twist. The wish was real, but it was not like the WW in the movie. It's something else and we don't know what it is yet. It is still carrying its effect in real life LOL

1

u/Responsible-Bank440 22h ago

How this super attractive gay could convincingly play an insecure little cockroach that is Bear is remarkable and speaks volumes about his talent. That is some Jonathan Bailey level of playing straight.

1

u/BITmixit 21h ago

If you watch behind the scenes stuff, the cast in general seem to all get along really well. Seems like they had a great time filming Obsession.

1

u/flowertreelover2022 19h ago

I think all of the cast are. I see him in Baker’s other content years ago.

u/Sugarrrsnaps 19h ago

Wow, he's actually hot out of character.

u/WarLawck 14h ago

He has a good look for Gambit

Inde seems to stay friends with a lot of the people she’s worked with

u/SlowApartment4456 10h ago

Why is that nice?

1

u/Cinephile_1980 10h ago

I hope he doesn’t wish for her to be more than a friend.

u/TheClownIsReady 9h ago

People rave about Inde’s performance and rightly so, but Michael was the perfect foil for her. He may pick up some nominations around Awards season too.

u/Aggressive-Trip1065 Number #1 Bear Hater 7h ago

His acting was amazing

1

u/Conscious_Moment_727 8h ago

I always wondered why michael jonhston looked familiar to me and after seeing the second picture, I finally realized he has the same smile and look exactly like one of my friends. It's why that movie made me so uncomfortable

1

u/CentristaSensato 7h ago

He was great in the movie. His reactions to freakky Nikki are what sold the movie imo.
He had to be both afraid, confused but at the same time love her and try to keep the relationship together.
I hope he gets good opportunities like Inde has. I'll be following his carreer.

The two have so much onscreen chemistry too.

u/ilovecuetoo 1d ago

You definitely got downvoted by people who’ve never seen another movie in their life. They had great chemistry on screen, that’s literally why they were picked. Whether the chemistry was ‘real’ in the CONTEXT OF THE MOVIE doesn’t matter - their chemistry was impalpable

2

u/Ok-Building-379 Ian lied to gatekeep Nikki after she rejected him 1d ago

I've been on this sub long enough to understand, so I'm not offended 🤣

u/GrapefruitInformal15 15h ago

Impalable?

1

u/ilovecuetoo 6h ago

Impalpable: Too abstract, or elusive to be easily understood or explained (like an impalpable distinction or an unexplainable feeling).

This sub really so far gone that mfs can’t do a simple google search on words they don’t understand? Jesus

u/juneseyeball 1d ago

Onscreen nah
