‘The King’s Speech’ shared set with gay porn shoot
It has been revealed that The King’s Speech, winner of numerous BAFTA awards as well as hot tip for the Oscars was filmed in the same location as a gay porn film.
Much of the film was set in the office of speech therapist Lionel Logue’s, played by Oscar nominee Geoffrey Rush at 33 Portland Place in London. The same address as gay porn director ‘Jonno’ shot ‘Snookered’ for the website UK Naked Men.
However, despite a lot of attention on US blogs including the Huffington Post, there was no danger of Colin Firth accidentally stumbling into the wrong shoot. The King’s Speech began filming in November 2009, while ‘Snookered’ was filmed over a year earlier.
Amy Winehouse filmed the video for Rehab in the same building.
