Introducing himself as Brent Corrigan, Lockhart proceeds to masturbate on camera. Teen Beach Movie star Garrett Clayton makes a radical shift to very adult-orientated fare as the tanned and taut Sean Paul Lockhart, who at the outset of Kelly’s film is seen on grainy digital footage, auditioning for Cobra Video, the amateur gay porn company that would soon go on to make him famous. King Cobra finds Franco in supporting mode, in service of a ripped-from-the-headlines drama covering the crazy tale behind the early rise of gay porn star Brent Corrigan.
In I Am Michael, Franco played a gay activist who declared himself straight after becoming religious.
