Issue 21 • Spring / Summer 2020

This might be a very different spring from the ones we are used to, but Jack The Lad is back to help take the edge off those long days of social distancing by bringing you closer to some incredible talent through their words and pictures.We do some straight talking with X-Men actor Gregg Lowe, soon to be seen in new Netflix superhero drama Jupiter’s Legacy. From superhero to Victorian scoundrel, we find actor Rik Barnett preparing for his role of Oscar Wilde’s erstwhile lover, Lord Alfred Douglas in his one-man play Bosie. In the second part of our interview with actor/activist Jonathan Blake, he takes us back to the eighties when he was one of the first people in the UK to receive a life-changing HIV diagnosis. We’ve super hot photo galleries from three sensational photographers, Will Allen, Nicholas Warner and Simon J. Webb, and shine a spotlight on the male form work of American artist Tom Morbitzer. Obviously no issue would be complete without Roo returning to further fill our free time with his top movie recommendations.
