Jonathan Groff says wearing assless chaps 'awakened' something in him
Jonathan Groff, 40, stars on Broadway in the Bobby Darin musical Just in Time and was nominated for a Tony Award. He attended the Beyoncé Cowboy Carter Tour wearing assless leather chaps and confirmed buying a leather harness from The Leather Man boutique, which he later wore to a friend's birthday themed 'c***-clave'. Wearing harnesses awakened sexual feelings for him; he described getting very excited and feeling amazing and recalled a similar reaction while trying a harness in Berlin. Onstage and on-screen nudity is part of his work; he focuses on blocking and lighting during intimate scenes, and embraced a playful, showboat-style nudity in Just In Time after creatives confirmed his comfort.
"Honestly, for me, it awakened things in me. I got very excited. It felt amazing."
"Seeing people in harnesses, I was like, 'What is that? Why do they do that?' And then I put it on, and I was like, 'I love this.'"
"It's in there, it's not like presenting my body to the camera, or presenting the body on stage. It's intimate; the lighting is a huge part of it. And, you know, the blocking of the f***ing."
