Cheyenne Jackson is scoring a lot with women these days – but only on screen

Gorgeous Cheyenne Jackson is getting a lot of action in screen these days – and it’s been with women.

The openly gay actor is not only getting hot and heavy with Lady Gaga on American Horror Story: Hotel but he’s also having ‘fake sex’ with Broadway legend Audra McDonald with whom he is filming Hello Again.

‘It’s kind of a crazy part of my job,’ he tells Michelangelo Signorile of SiriusXM Progress. ‘But it’s been really fun. And Audra was totally down. And the show, Hello Again… is all about sex. And it’s all about these desires and how they manifest between these relationships with people, so you kinda gotta go there. It was my time with Gaga on (American) Horror Story that prepped me to do the stuff I did in the movie.’

‘For a gay dude,’ he added jokingly, ‘I’m getting a lot of pussy.’

On American Horror Story: Hotel, Jackson plays a bisexual fashion icon who married Gaga’s character.

The storyline called for Jackson’s first on-screen sex scene.

‘It was the first time I’d ever done that,’ he says.

So he looked to his co-star and good friend Matt Bomer for advice since Bomer has been nude or nearly nude in The Normal Heart, in the Magic Mike movies and on AHS: Hotel.

‘(He’s) nude a lot, as he should be,’ Jackson says, laughing. ‘But you know, Matt is just so very pragmatic about it. He’s like, “Well, here’s my costume,” and holds up his little string that we put on to cover our junk. But it’s part of the deal. It’s how it goes. I had to sign my first nudity rider — at 40. I was like, “Man.” But you know, that’s what you do.’

Jackson sums up with a joke: ‘Yeah, it was hard. it was scary. Well, it wasn’t hard, but you know.’
