“Heated Rivalry” star Hudson Williams is pulling back the curtain on his DMs … revealing he’s been getting messages from pro athletes who say they’re still in the closet.
Speaking on “Andy Cohen Live,” Hudson — who plays Shane Hollander in the steamy queer hockey drama — said it hit him just how deep the show was landing when he started getting a flood of anonymous DMs from secretly gay pro athletes.
Hudson said the messages haven’t been coming from just one sport … he’s heard from athletes in hockey, football, and basketball — many of whom also reached out to the show’s author, Rachel Reid, who then passed along the love.
Others slid straight into his IG DMs — and Hudson admits those messages hit him hard.
“Heated Rivalry” zeroes in on Hudson’s character’s relationship with Connor Storrie’s on-screen love interest … and it’s scored major acclaim after premiering on Canada’s Crave before landing on HBO Max. It’s since been renewed for S2.
