Carly Rae Jepsen instantly established herself as a gay icon for the millennial set when her video for the 2011 smash “Call Me Maybe” featured an inclusive twist ending. “The fact that they had to make me gay at the end of the video … it was all very … I didn’t like being known as the gay guy in the ‘Call Me Maybe’ video. It was just something I wasn’t used to,” Nowell told iHeartRadio Canada in an interview published Thursday. “I was like, ‘I’m going to be completely honest with you. I’m not going to kiss a guy, especially for $500.’ I said, ‘I really don’t think I’m comfortable kissing a guy for a music video,’” he said.
