The rugby legend and longtime icon to the LGBTQ+ community, Ben Cohen has made his acting debut in the British anthology series, Patterns. The series rather ingeniously casts Cohen as himself—or, rather, as a poster of himself that comes to life to share words of advice to a closeted teen who idolizes him. It’s fantastically camp and, really, who could complain about another opportunity to see the rugby hunk shirtless But that’s just the tip of the iceberg with Patterns, a high-concept comedy that introduces us to a world of eccentric characters and finds them all flitting in and out of eight different genres across eight distinctive episodes, all centered on LGBTQ+ themes. It’s important that so many new shows and movies globally include LGBTQ+ themes and characters.
Patterns is available on DVD and Download to Own via TLA Releasing and is streaming exclusively on Dekkoo. For more information, visit Dekkoo.com.
