Jordan Firstman and Andrew Scott have revealed they briefly dated, with Firstman thinking: “This is my husband.”
Speaking together for a flirty Interview magazine chat, the actors discussed their careers, before things turned to their intertwined personal lives.
Firstman, whose movie Club Kid is scheduled to release in the UK on 8 January, 2027 admitted he was “gagged” when he discovered Scott was gay.
He said he was “obviously” pleased when he found out, after Scott had “played straight” in the likes of Fleabag.
“You know I used to have the biggest crush on you,” Firstman told Elsinore star Scott. However, he admitted it ended “at the W party”.
‘This is my husband, a hundred per cent going to happen’
Firstman went on: “The pandemic, we were going for dates. And the banter.”
Scott said it was “excellent”, adding: “We were good.”
Firstman added: “I remember when we first started messaging, I was just gagged. I was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m texting with a hot priest.’ I’m like, ‘This is my husband, a hundred per cent going to happen.'”
Scott joked: “But I belong to the church.”
Speaking of “the W party”, Firstman elaborated: “I was like, ‘I feel like this is just not going to happen,'” but added: “I still think we flirt every time we see each other.”
Jordan Firstman in Club Kid
Firstman’s comedy-drama Club Kid, which he wrote, directed and stars in, tells the story of a down-and-out party promoter, whose life takes a turn when he is forced to look after a 10-year-old son he didn’t know existed.
It premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, before it got a limited cinema release in the US on 6 November, 2026.
The movie has received high praise, with a score of 99 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes‘ Tomatometer, and 93 per cent on the Popcornmeter.
Writing for Time magazine, film critic Stephanie Zacharek especially praised child actor Reggie Absolom, who plays Firstman’s on-screen son Arlo. Zacharek said: “A movie featuring a child actor is only as good as the kid, and Absolom is quietly wonderful as Arlo.”
Philip De Semlyen, writing for Time Out, added: “Club Kid has the cool breath of freshness on its side, with remarkable young acting performances and a writer-director-star who nails all three aspects of this funny, heady and tender film.”
Club Kid also stars Cara Delevingne, as Peter’s (Firstman) business partner.
