Kevin Alejandro has promised romance
this season between his gay character on True Blood and Nelson
Ellis' character.
Alejandro's Jesus was brought in last
season of the vampire drama to play the love interest of flamboyant
gay prostitute and blood dealer Lafayette Reynolds (played by Ellis).
In
a new interview with Eonline.com, Alejandro, 35, promised romance
in the new season, which started two weeks ago.
“What makes Jesus and Lafayette work
is just how opposite of each other they are, you know, it's a nice
balance. I think with any relationship you need a balance, you know,
you can't have too much of one thing without tipping the scale in a
direction that doesn't need to be tipped.”
“He's a lot more adventurous, risque,
so to speak, and I'm a little bit more normal,” he said.
When asked if the relationship this
season would become sexier, Alejandro said, “definitely.”
“This season is a really great season
for both of us.”
“You get to see some really nice
intimate moments and some crazy off-the-wall stuff,” he added.
The Mexican-American actor previously
played gay on the second season of HBO's Big Love.
