In this episode of the Queerty Interview, Cameron sits down with Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling to talk about Pillion, their bold and unexpectedly tender new gay romantic comedy. Directed by first-time feature filmmaker Harry Lighton, Pillion tells a love story unlike any other.

Melling stars as Colin, a shy, directionless young man still living with his parents, whose life changes after he catches the eye of Ray, a confident and commanding biker played by Skarsgård. What begins as an erotic plunge into BDSM culture reveals itself to be something far sweeter — a sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt exploration of power, intimacy, and connection.

With Pillion now playing in select theaters, Skarsgård and Melling open up about their hilarious first meeting, working alongside their scene-stealing dog co-stars, and what they learned from the real-life Gay Bikers Motorcycle Club, who consulted on and appear in the film.

Pillion is also a nominee for Best Comedy Movie at the 2026 Queerties, Queerty’s annual awards celebrating the best in LGBTQ+ pop culture.
