Disney actor Garrett Clayton is set to play gay adult film star Brent Corrigan in an upcoming film 'King Cobra' produced by James Franco, which is based on the real life murder of gay adult film producer Bryan Kocis.
The 24-year-old posted a pic on Instagram from the set of King Cobra with the hashtag #KingCobraMovie.
Alongside James Franco and 'Pretty Little Liars‘ star Keegan Allen, Garrett will portray a pornstar who was underage while performing in videos for Cobra, and so was involved in a legal battle at the time.
Garrett teased the role on October 9, when he posted a selfie in a gym locker room, sweaty and shirtless after a workout.
“Serious weight training for the next role,” he captioned the pic.
Garrett isn’t the first King Cobra actor to post photos of himself in his undies — James Franco also shared a snap of him and Keegan on October 20 with their shirts off.
The crime at the heart of King Cobra dates back to 2007 when Harlow Raymond Cuadra and Joseph Manuel Kerekes killed Kocis in what police called a “misguided attempt to make it big.”
Keegan then posted a photo on the same day of himself looking tough as nails next to a red convertible. “Viper boyz #KingCobraMovie,” he wrote with his biceps bulging.
Christian Slater is set to play Kocis and Molly Ringwald will also appear in the film.
The crime at the heart of King Cobra dates back to 2007 when Harlow Raymond Cuadra and Joseph Manuel Kerekes killed producer Kocis in what police called a “misguided attempt to make it big” and lure Kocis’ big star away from him.
Garrett Clayton previously starred in Teen Beach, Teen Beach 2, and appeared on ABC Family’s The Fosters. He also recently made a cameo in Todrick Hall’s Hocus Pocus parody.
