Coming out: Hard Times of RJ Berger actor Paul Iacono has revealed he is gay
He replied: ‘Yes. I'm rolling with the punches here. I was asked if I was comfortable doing homosexual press. I said “Of course.”
‘I didn't think I'd be coming out. But why not now? I think it's the right time to say something.’

America is finally ready for a mainstream, teen gay comedy. Director Darren Stein&#;s clip G.B.F.—an abbreviation for &#;Gay Best Friend&#;—tells the story of three competitive prom-queen aspirants in an upscale suburban high school, who decide they need a gay best friend to act as arm candy and sidekick to encourage them on their outfits and listen to them prattle on. Two closeted best friends, Tanner (Michael J. Willett, United States of Tara) and Brent (Paul Iacono), become frenemies when Brent inadvertently outs Tanner—and turns him into the hottest teenage-girl accessory at school.
Iacono, the sprightly year-old co-star of G.B.F., has been acting since he was four. His credits include numerous theatrical productions since childhood, a part in the remake of Fame, and the starring role in the MTV series The Hard Times of RJ Berger, which ran for one and a half seasons. He&#;s in Rhymes With Banana, soon to come to Netflix, in which he co-stars with Girls&#;Zosia Mamet. This
MTV Star Comes Out As a Homosexual Man!
Congratulations are in directive for Paul Iacono, the young actor of MTV's The Hard Times of RJ Berger.
The year-old actor came out today as a gay man.
While he may not be the biggest familiar name (yet)
Bravo to Iacono for doing what so many gay men and women in Hollywood are reluctant to do themselves.
"I deliberate it's the right time to express something," he says in an interview with Michael Musto, a columnist for the Village Voice newspaper in Unused York City. "It's not about me, it's about alter and the work."
In RJ Berger, Iacono starred as a high schooler with an exceptionally commanding manhood. In his new MTV series, Kenzie's Scale, he's a college scholar who realizes he's gay after moving to New York with his girlfriend.
"The whole reason we came up with Kenzie's Scale is to give youthful gays characters to look up to," Iacono said. "It's great that we have Chris Colfer, but we want more charactersI didn't ha

The guy who played exceptionally well-hung high school nerd R.J. Berger on the MTV reveal "Hard Times of R.J. Berger" just revealed he's gay but admits he's still attracted to women.
year-old Paul Iacono just came out publicly to "The Village Voice" saying, "I think it's the right time to speak something."
Iacono explains, "I grew up in a really old-school Italian traditional family in New Jersey. I tried coming out a couple of times as a kid, from on, and was always squashed on."
He adds, "I was just coming to terms with the fact that I was bisexual, which culturally I do identify with as a gay man -- I am attracted to girls, I'm just attracted to guys much more."
"It was not until I was 18 that I came out with my mom and 20 with my dad. I was older and able to mention it from a different perspective."
Paul also says part of the reason he came out publicly was to be a role model to kids so they "won't have to grow up and be afraid of their sexuality."
