Rising star Kieron Moore poses up a storm on the latest cover of Attitude magazine, available to order now at attitude.co.uk and in shops Tuesday 28 April.

Moore, known for roles in Emmerdale, Vampire Academy and Netflix hit Boots, stars as gay fin-dom and camboy Aaron Eagle in the polarising new drama Blue Film.

The 29-year-old tells us in his cover interview: “There’s so much reality in [Aaron]. It’s like I say to everyone: yeah, the topic is scary. People will turn their face before giving it a chance. But the truth is, I was scared to watch someone else do it because I knew there was so much in me I was willing to explore.”

“The best acting experience I’ve ever had” – Kieron Moore on his Blue Film audition

The film also stars House of Cards actor Reed Birney as Aaron’s former high school teacher and convicted child sex offender Hank, who books Aaron for the night and reveals he’s been “in love” with him for decades.

Birney tells us the role is “one of the most exciting parts I’ve ever played. That’s all I was thinking about. People make so many independent movies that never see the light of day.

“But while we were making it, I had a feeling there was something very special about this.”

“He’s amalgamation of many porn stars I’ve watched over the years” – Blue Film director Elliot Tuttle on Moore’s character

Director Elliot Tuttle tells us Aaron’s character is “an amalgamation of many porn stars I’ve watched over the years,” along with “my experience as a young gay man written in. Feelings I’ve had, instability I’ve felt.”

He describes the shocking conversation that plays out between Aaron and Hank as a “long night of the soul.”

On his audition, Moore recalled: “I’m not a crier. When it says ‘cry’ on the script, I’m like, ‘Oh, God. Here we go.’ But I was bawling my eyes out on Zoom with Reed.

“I called my team after, saying, ‘If I don’t get that job, it doesn’t matter, as that’s the best acting experience I’ve ever had.’ I’m so lucky I got to do it in real life.”

Blue Film is out 8 May in the USA. Coming to the UK soon
