CHARLIE SOLIS, New York’s freshest leading man, hypnotizes and enchants on this picture perfect edition of Edible Moments. The handsome, kind hearted, up-and-coming actor pulls us in close for a silver screen kiss, running lines from some of Buds’ most intimate questionnaires.
“I prefer boxer-briefs. I like to have some support, you know? The boys want to be held- but not too tight!”
Who was the first gay actor to inspire you?
Sir Ian McKellen. I’m always a big fan of everything he does. Magneto? Gandalf? What a genuine badass.
Do you prefer comedy or drama when acting? What about when smoking?
I think I tend to gravitate towards drama for acting, but I hear comedy fits well on me too. They each come with their challenges but I enjoy both. I’d say I’m pretty vers. For smoking, definitely comedy. It’s always fun to see what happens and be goofy. Although I’ve also learned a lot from playing a dramatic scene while fully stoney bologna. Sometimes I make new discoveries and surprise myself. Other times I forget everything entirely! This is of course behind closed doors.
Which actress would play you in a movie?
I wanna say Sarah Paulson but realistically the role would probably go to Abbi Jacobson or Ilana Glazer.
Dream person to get stoned with?
I’ve thought a lot about this one. I feel like people like Snoop or Seth Rogen are assumed, right? So I’d go with Rachel Weisz. Something tells me it would be reminiscent of that scene in 1999’s The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser where Rachel as Evelyn drunkenly asks, “What’s a place like me doing in a girl like this?”
Boxers or briefs?
I prefer boxer briefs. I like to have some support, you know? Like.. the boys want to be held- but not too tight!
Favorite Munchies?
