Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> star Jake Borelli is set to star in The Thing About Harry<\/em>, a Valentine\u2019s Day-themed romantic comedy road trip movie directed by Peter Paige and co-starring newcome Niko Terho, and also starring Queer Eye<\/em>\u2018s Karamo Brown, and Britt Baron.<\/p>\n

Deadline reports<\/a>: \u201cBorelli will play Sam, a handsome, funny, neurotic, intelligent young gay<\/a> man<\/a> who combines a scathing wit with an overly idealistic worldview. Sam came out when he was still in high school, something that took a lot of courage in his small Missouri town, but was bullied constantly. Terho will portray Harry, an emotionally uncomplicated, promiscuous player who has always left a string of broken hearts in his wake. Under the surface, Harry actually yearns for love, family and stability, but the thought of commitment still terrifies him.\u201d<\/p>\n

TV Line adds<\/a>: \u201cQueer Eye\u2018s Karamo Brown will co-star as Paul, a gay<\/a> man<\/a> who is both \u2018exceedingly well put-together\u2019 yet \u2018overbearing and pretentious,\u2019 while GLOW\u2018s Britt Baron will play Stasia, Sam\u2019s edgy and opinionated best friend. Peter Paige (The Fosters) will direct the movie and appear as Sam\u2019s warm-hearted roommate, Casey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Said executive producers Paige, Greg Gugliotta and F.J. Denny in a statement: \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor to partner with Freeform in making great television with LGBTQ+ characters as leads. True equality can only be achieved when you see yourself reflected in the movies, music and stories that paint our culture. As young gay<\/a> men<\/a> in the 90s, whenever a rom-com opened, we would watch the leading lady<\/a> fall in love, and imagine what it would be like if the boy<\/a> was saying all those things to another boy<\/a>. We\u2019ve always wanted to make a movie \u2014 an unabashedly romantic comedy \u2014 that queer boys<\/a> wouldn\u2019t have to translate. It\u2019s rewarding to take the genre to a new, all-inclusive level.\u201d<\/p>\n
