Something Amazing Happened In 2001 That I Need To Share With You

2001 might mark the last great year for cinema, because it's the last time that Colin Farrel and Scott Caan got hella shirtless to show off their tight as fuckity fuck bods to lowkey flirt on the range! In fact if you were to look at these still images without context, you'd assume that they're from a retro gay porn VHS. And you'd be correct.

Colin Farrel and Scott Caan both starred in the 2001 western American Outlaw, which took on the story of Jesse James to little to no fanfare. No matter. Audiences looking for a quality historical western obviously ignored the rich layered subtext provided by this pornographic shirtless scene. Straights are willing to do anything to avoid the truth: Gay is all around us at all times.

Colin Farrel plays Jesse James and Scott Caan plays a member of his gang that steals from the rich to give to the poor. Farrel and Caan were both twenty-five when the movie was released. Colin has a smooth and tan bod while Caan sports some blonde chest fuzz. The fact that Farrel and Caan both received equal billing for this movie just underlines the high hopes Hollywood had for Caan's career, as well as the reality of how that played out over the past two decades.

Colin on the other hand became a leading man, but even with all of his acclaimed performances delivered over the years, nothing gets to the heart of the human condition quite like this scene from American Outlaw. This is why actors go into the business people. And by "the business" I of course mean gay pornography.

Have you seen American Outlaw? Did you actually just see a random '90s gay porn VHS and simply think that you saw American Outlaw? And is there technically a difference between the two? Check out all the hawtness here and spillz below in the comments!
