\n\tJim Parfait has it all. The gay influencer is ripped and hugely popular. In fact, he is an icon of the Gym Queens community in Paris, a party king of the Marais district, the heart of queer life in the French capital<\/a>. What can go wrong?! Well, a lot!<\/p>\n

\n\tBecause if you are on top like Jim, the only way is down \u2013 way down! And that brings with it the threat of being ripped \u2013 ripped to shreds, that is. For example, if you lose your health, strength and status. And that\u2019s exactly the nightmare that Jim, one of the protagonists of the animated satire Jim Queen, world premiering in the Cannes Film Festival<\/a>\u2018s Midnight Screenings<\/a> lineup Sunday going into Monday, is facing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feature film is the creation, and directorial feature debut, of Nicolas Athan\u00e9 and Marco Nguyen, who co-wrote it with Simon Balteaux and Brice Chevillard. David Alric and Arthur Delabays of French animation studio Bobbypills (Creature Commandos) produced the movie, on which Global Constellation<\/a> is handling sales.<\/p>\n

\n\tTHR can now exclusively premiere a clip from Jim Queen, starring Mr. Perfect himself, Jim Parfait, voiced by Alex Ramir\u00e8s. The voice cast also features J\u00e9r\u00e9my Gillet and gay porn icon Fran\u00e7ois Sagat, among others. In the clip from the movie, we get to go inside Jim\u2019s fitness temple and get to admire some of his routines, before we get a first glimpse of the potential horror threatening to tear down all the success and fame of the zero percent body fat life that he has built for himself over time.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe exclusive clip also takes us to a medical center where Jim hopes to find out what may, or may not, be ailing him. Are those sweat pearls of fear on the face of his medical advisor and friend?! A word of caution: her diagnosis will not only shock Jim, but also you!<\/p>\n
