Garrett Clayton Talks Nudity, Shooting "King Cobra" Gay Sex Scenes

"I’m like, ‘This is gonna project about 40 feet high and I’m gonna see it for the rest of my life. So let’s get it right.’”

Garrett Clayton, who plays adult film star Brent Corrigan in the new gay porn thriller King Cobra, says he was comfortable filming sex scenes for the provocative movie.

“I like to be as naked as possible,” Clayton told sat down with Out magazine. “If friends come over, I’ll just have on basketball shorts with no socks, no shirt, and maybe underwear. I hate clothes.”

But what about on the set of a movie—especially one about the gay porn industry?

“I don’t view sex as taboo,” he explains. “But it was important that there wasn’t sex for no reason. When a sexual act was happening, [director] Justin [Kelly] and I talked about how it promoted the plot. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t do it.”

Clayton had a "one ass shot" rule in his contract, and had a little trepidation when that fateful day came—in the film's final scene.

“The makeup artist is painting my ass, and the A.D. is like, ‘We’re losing light!’ And I’m like, ‘This is gonna project about 40 feet high and I’m gonna see it for the rest of my life. So let’s get it right.’”

He also played a gay teen on ABC's The Real O'Neals, but when it comes to his personal life the former Disney star is mum.

“I don’t really like talking about my personal life,” he says. “I like a certain amount of veil. I’ve been very lucky this year. I haven’t been brought down because people are focused on who I’m dating, what I’m eating, or what handbag is the best handbag — that’s so cheap to me."

"But if others want to open up about their personal lives," he adds, "that is their choice. It’s not for me to judge.”

Below, we talk with Garrett and the rest of the King Cobra cast on the red carpet.

King Cobra hits theaters October 21.
