 CHARLIE’S MOMENT OF TERROR

Above: 100% gay actor Charlie Condou can't contain his sheer look of terror as he begins the latest Corrie rehearsals. He's learning how to hold a woman for an upcoming romantic scene in Coronation Street...He is given the thumbs up by the acting coach.

(Nah, not really, it's just Charlie mucking about with Alexandra Heminsley)

The three of us

Two dads, one mum – one family

o    Charlie Condou

o    The Guardian, Saturday 7 July 2012

[… we had a family trip to Center Parcs. It was lovely to be away all together. Hal, at six months, is obviously a little young to appreciate the facilities, but the rest of us made the most of our stay – Georgia mainly enjoyed the swimming, Catherine, Cam and I found our way to massages at the spa. The trip was a prelude to Cam and I taking a much-needed, just-the-two-of-us break in Cyprus…]

Charliecondou: @JOJEHARVEY @SquarePegMedia one of the biggest! You'll be missed x

What A Gay Day!

SATURDAY, 7 JULY 2012

Article edited from: HERE

...World Pride Day, a day when gays take over the streets of That London in the name of equality.  That's the theory, anyway; what usually happens is about four people hold up a placard while behind them 13,000 homos are recreating the last days of Rome while knocking back blue WKDs…

…Although Charlie Condou is utterly lovely, both physically and personality-wise, Marcus is a bit of a dull old stick.  Only Maria seems to find him fascinating, but that's largely because Maria has the brain of a freshly squeezed dishcloth; she normally spends her evenings with Kirk and a three year old, so she's just glad to be talking to someone who doesn't have mashed swede down their jumper.  Marcus wanted children, which explained why he was willing to be in a relationship with Sean; he spent most of his time following him around, cleaning up his messes after him and acting like the grown up.  This allowed Sean to become even more infantile, until Marcus could stand it no more.  Sean became jealous over Marcus's friendship with Aiden; he viewed him as a threat, even though he had the mouth of a freshly-caught guppy, and that was it; the affair was over.

Now Marcus is living across the street, and Sean is bashing about filled with self-pity.  We've reached the point where the gay couples can be as annoying as the heterosexual ones; that's true equality, if you ask me.
