Happy Birthday, Pierson Fodé!

Pierson Fodé celebrates his 32nd birthday today, making him the man of the moment! Pierson is no stranger to the blog thanks to his often-shirtless role as Thomas Forrester on The Bold & the Beautiful. Pierson was also previously featured for his multi-episode stint on the TNT drama Animal Kingdom where he played Ryan, a love interest for main character Deran. That wasn't Pierson's first shirtless scene as a gay character. In honor of his big day, the blog takes a look back at his first gay role which came in the movie Naomi & Ely's No Kiss List. Pierson played Ely, the gay best friend of leading lady Naomi. The two reach a major conflict when their famed no kiss list rule is broken after Ely falls in love with Naomi's beau Bruce (played by Ryan Ward), who's struggling with his sexuality. Pierson was shirtless in multiple scenes and shared several kisses with Ryan in the film.
