“Jim Queen” has arrived in Cannes – and claimed his crown.
Sold by Global Constallation, the crowd-pleasing animation, produced by France’s Bobbypills and directed by Marco Nguyen and Nicolas Athané, sees popular Parisian gay influencer Jim reigning as the ultimate Gym Queen. He’s all about “tight shorts and zero body fat” – until one day, his abs literally disappear.
Jim is slowly turning straight because of a virus called Heterosis that’s been going around. Side effects? Flabby body, manspreading, obsession with football. And no prostate orgasm ever again.
“Let’s face it – gay guys are obsessed with the way we look. It can be tough in this world, because you have to be in shape and you have to be young. I’m 43, and guys look at me differently,” Simon Balteaux tells Variety.
Balteaux wrote “Jim Queen” with Nguyen, Athané and Brince Chevillard.
