Wait, What?! The Laura Dern/Julia Roberts Edition

What connection do gay porn stars Vince Parker and Jack Vidra have to Oscar-winning actresses Laura Dern and Julia Roberts?! (Those lucky studs!) And do you have any surprise celebrity encounters?

When the 2021 GayVN Award nominations were recently announced, Twitter was abuzz with performers congratulating and encouraging each other. But two nominated stars revealed something a little extra special about themselves in the process: Vince Parker, who is up for Best Daddy and Best Fetish scene (with his beau Jake Nicola in this scuzzy pubic restroom encounter); and Jack Vidra, whose Raw Fuck Club gang bang is up for Best Group Scene. Have a look…

In the words of Pup Xylo, “Wait, what?!” Vince and Laura were Homecoming dates?!

Fellow porn star Brendan Patrick was also impressed (and obsessed):

As a longtime David Lynch fan, I’m impressed with Brendan’s taste in cinema…although Inland Empire is arguably Lynch’s most challenging work (Dern also appeared in Wild at Heart, which might be a better place for Lynch virgins to start).

Not to be outdone, Jack channeled Kristen Wiig’s Penelope in his attempt to one-up Vince…

Wait, what?! Jack hosted and fed Julia at his family’s home, and was in Runaway Bride?! Jack, we need to know: What kind of sandwich was it?

EDIT: Ever the gentleman, Jack has elaborated on the experience in a response to our tweet!

I’m particularly jealous of Vince…I’ve been a Laura uber since Blue Velvet (yet another Lynch masterpiece), and her turn in Citizen Ruth (with her mom Diane Ladd!) is criminally overlooked. I’ve been giddy with her Big Little Lies and Marriage Story success.

Do you have any surprise celebrity encounters? Tell us in the comments below! We’ll be rooting for both of them to win so that can keep pace with Laura and Julia. In the meantime, catch Vince and Jake in their hot nominated scene from Raging Stallion…
