I mean, I’ve done kissing scenes and I’ve done post sex scenes and pre sex scenes, but nah. I was surprised to hear that you hadn’t done a sex scene up until that point. I echo what everyone else says about working with her: She’s a total pro. I was nervous going into it because I had never really done nudity onscreen, but she’s just great. Who was guiding who during that sex scene? You know, there’s actually a GIF out there. So, we were just kind of playing around and she and I have such a comfort with each other, so between set-ups I laid down for a minute and she just started, you know, rubbing my butt and I’m like, “Ooh!” The director was like, “Oh, great let’s just do that,” and that became a thing and I thought, ‘Oh, shit. She was really fun and she put me at ease because I had never done a scene like that. But Gaga is so playful and comfortable with scenes like that and with her body. We got to that scene, and it wasn’t in the script exactly like that. (Laughs) Oh, I knew! I knew as we were shooting it. How aware are you that you’ve made just about every gay man jealous by having your butt touched by Mother Monster? I think we’ll all be finding out in the next few months. Regarding “American Horror Story”: Can we expect you in future seasons? I mean, I came out when I wanted to because it was my time, and I hate the whole witch-hunt aspect. Just leave people to do their own thing on their own time. I hate it when people try to pull people out of the closet – who wants that? It’s not good for them, it’s not good for us for whatever their own reasons are, they’re not ready. I mean, everybody should do their own thing, what is right for them. You suggest that you’ve worked with many closeted gay actors, and we talk a lot about the Hollywood closet. I’ve been out since I was 19, so I gotta do something with all this information I have! But yeah, listen, I’m happy to be the go-to if people wanna know what shit means. Oh, well, I’ve never been the gay actor on set – maybe I’m the only openly gay actor. While shooting “Love Is Strange” with Alfred Molina and John Lithgow, it was said that you informed them on gay vernacular, such as what it means to be a “bear.” As the gay guy on set – maybe sometimes the only one – do you find yourself schooling your straight co-stars on everything gay? And also, I don’t wanna take time away from my husband and my home and my family just to do a little thing. It’s such a labor of love – and I know it’s an overused phrase – but it is if you’re gonna be putting your blood, sweat and tears into it. Doing a movie, especially an indie movie, you really have to love the subject and you really have to love the writer / director. I would say maybe five to seven offers a year and I’ll do a few. I make no bones about it: I’m not in a world where I just get offered all of these movies by any means. When it comes to roles in general, how many scripts do you end up passing on? I really do love that there’s such a broad spectrum I’ve played: gay guys who were more straight down the middle, and – though I hate this phrase – “straight acting,” and all the way to “Behind the Candelabra” where I was just, you know, super cunt-y. Honestly, just the part has to appeal to me. I was bisexual on “Horror Story” and then I just finished a film where I also played bisexual, so I’m in a bi phase right now. I play a pretty healthy mix, although these days I’ve been playing a lot of bisexuals.

I just pick something if the character’s right for me. I never pick something based on if it’s gay or not. How do you know if a gay character is right for you? You’ve played just about every variation of gay.

In a new interview with Jackson, the actor discusses his “fuck it” attitude at 40 (no more Botox for him), the butt-grab GIF Lady Gaga sent him and his passionate feelings on the Hollywood closet. As an out gay man, Jackson knows the struggle, but he’s stopped caring. In the film, now streaming via Digital HD and VOD, he plays a gay derm lending his expertise to friend Mia (Alexia Landeau) as she tries to survive age-obsessed Hollywood. Jackson’s latest is “Day Out of Days,” directed by Zoe Cassavetes, the daughter of filmmaker John Cassavetes and actress Gena Rowlands. Of course the screen and stage singer-actor’s resume is far more extensive: Jackson has starred in a wide range of projects including “30 Rock,” HBO’s Liberace biopic “Behind the Candelabra,” “Glee” and the 9/11-inspired “Flight 93,” portraying late gay hero Mike Bingham. It’s a box Cheyenne Jackson can happily check off after his recent run on “American Horror Story: Hotel,” playing a bisexual fashion designer who, by the grace of Gaga, got felt up by Mother Monster herself.
