It\u2019s taboo for men to be friends and grab each other a certain way or hold hands. And me and Hudson being in such a sexual circumstance with one another, it\u2019s really interesting to watch people sexualize our very amicable signs of affection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat just shows where the culture is still at in a way like, \u2018Oh, these two men\u2026\u2019 Just because we\u2019re really comfortable with each other and we love each other, we\u2019ve been through the craziest experience together, we\u2019re on this crazy rollercoaster together,\u201d the actor continued. \u201cIf I have my hand on his leg as we\u2019re sitting down doing a press thing because he\u2019s my best buddy and I love him, and we have that level of comfort.
