Matt McGorry: I'm the Pornstache of 'How to Get Away With Murder'
You may know and affection Matt McGorry as charmingly charming corrections officer John Bennett on Orange Is the New Black, but the actor's squeaky(ish) reputation is about to take a hit. As law student Asher Millstone on Shonda Rhimes' modern ABC Thursday night juggernaut How to Get Away With Murder (which premieres tonight at 10 P.M.), the former power lifter plays, well, a douche. Not that he minds, really. "You don't get quite as much freedom when you're a intimate interest," he tells ELLE.com "When you're the guy who doesn't need to be liked, you can do whatever you want."

How did you end up getting cast in How to Get Away With Murder?
I had a very fortunate experience. I got the script, they asked me to study it for interest, and I thought it was great. They wanted me to read for the role that was at the time written as "Doucheface." That was the character name! But there was a lot of fun to be had in that role. It's weird when everyone is insisting that you'd be a great "Doucheface." It was a side of me that I haven't really gotten to show yet and
Matt McGorry confidently said that he experimented with guys before. And despite naming as straight, he’s comfortable sharing that fact.
Now before you start typing, “Old news” in the comments, we comprehend. McGorry’s confession happened back in 2018. But the moment is being revisited thanks to a viral TikTok video.
The Orange is the New Black and How To Obtain Away With Murder star talked about his past sexual experiences while appearing on a series called Man Enough. The show sees several Hollywood celebrities gathering together to have conversations about manhood today. Moderated by Justin Baldoni, the series covers topics like body image, fatherhood, marriage, happiness, feminism, and sexuality.
Again, McGorry appeared on the table talk show in 2018. The thespian opened up about the idea that more people experiment with their sexuality than society lets on.
“When I was young, like a lot of vertical boys, I experimented with other boys, right?” he explained. “And that is something that’s so common, but nobody talks about it.”
Baldoni then asked McGorry to clarify by asking, “What does that mean?”

IloveMatt McGorry.
He's cute, charming, and a talented thespian. As the buff, sensitive Bennett on Orange Is The New Black he always managed to tug at my heartstrings. Plus that shirtless dance routine to "Hollaback Girl" wasn't half-bad. Then he made it onto our petite screens as part of Shonda Rhimes' smash slap How To Get Away With Murder and ruffled more than a rare feathers with his poor rich boy persona.
And then, slowly but surely, McGorry started to obtain a different kind of reputation in Hollywood: a reputation for being socially conscious. He was reading Michelle Alexander, using the word "intersectional" in sentences (correctly, I might add) and appearing alongside Joe Biden to promote the It's On Us campaign. He said he was a feminist, supported marriage equality, spoke out in support of #BlackLivesMatter, and challenged Piers Morgan over his Lemonade critique.
Here is where the obstacle arises: Matt McGorry is now being worshipped as a hero by hundreds of thousands of people for being a decent human being.
