“For me, it was a ‘no-brainer,'” Bagwell revealed. “My complete life has been extraordinarily clear. I by no means hid my habit, I by no means hid what I did for a residing, I by no means tried to cover being a male escort for gigolos, I by no means tried to cover any of that. I simply did what I did, I did the very best I may do, and so it wasn’t like I did not have to consider doing the present as a result of I do not cover something.”
Bagwell expressed how hopeful he was being concerned within the undertaking, and praised the story that the creators put out.
“It was an opportunity for me to have the ability to add just a few followers which will have questions on me being a gigolo and, ‘Why would he do this?’ I used to be enthusiastic about it, after which once I watched it and when it ended, I used to be ecstatic. I assumed it was completed phenomenally effectively,” he mentioned. “It actually is not a ‘Darkish Facet’ episode; it is a good story, it is a fairly darkish story, but it surely ends with rays of sunshine. I look good, I really feel good, I am wholesome, I am clear, I am sober, however they actually did not need to discuss all that stuff.”
