'Now Apocalypse': Beau Mirchoff as Ford is the hot straight guy who subverts stereotypes with subtlety

Beau Mirchoff plays the role of Ford in Gregg Araki's 'Now Apocalypse' and here's why we love Ford's character
PUBLISHED MAR 20, 2019

'Now Apocalypse' sees Beau Mirchoff play the role of Ford who is a '0' on the Kinsey scale, a hot looking blonde man who knows he is not intelligent. However, he subtly subverts the stereotype of a heterosexual hot man who is dumb. He is Ulysses (Avan Jogia's) roommate in the show, and Uly is in love with him.

In fact, in the first episode of the show, we see Uly confess his feelings on his vlog and say that if Ford had an inkling of ambiguity with respect to his sexual orientation, he would be married to him. In just the two episodes of the show that has been aired so far, Ford displays a range of characteristics that subtly subverts stereotypes about heterosexual men.
