It’s clear that Xin comes from wealth, but Ray doesn’t pick up on the full scope of that until Xin asks him to extend his layover in Singapore on his return trip. Xin is a master at matching wealthy donors with enticing tax-deductible charities, like the school where Ray is working. To be willing to risk the pain, he needs to trust his partner.Īs the week goes on, Ray and Xin spend a whole lot of time together, both relaxing and in work. Besides, Ray’s not a “fling” type of guy. Ray’s back injuries have made him feel as if he can’t be a full partner to another man, as sex often brings more pain than pleasure. Ray is attracted to Xin, but he’s not willing to make a move, even after Xin reveals he’s also gay. The first day he arrives, the kids all call him “Ray-gun,” and Ray meets his unexpected roomie-a suave, Singaporean-Aussie named Xin.

Regan loves basketball with all his heart and soul, but he suffers a degenerative bone disease, and a back injury two years ago left him off the court and managing chronic pain.

Water for Elephants and Wild (which earned her a second Oscar nom) have been among her most recent film glories, but Witherspoon is fully occupied now with her production company, getting women-led television projects off the ground like Big Little Lies, Truth Be Told, Little Fires Everywhere, and The Morning Show.Regan is a newly graduated, 22-year-old gay man with a degree in art history and teaching English as a second language. Going for more indie-focused, challenging material in the immediate years afterwards produced mixed results, with the likes of Mud and Inherent Vice at the top of that cult-movie pile. Johnny Cash-biopic Walk the Line would net Witherspoon her first Best Actress Oscar nomination and win for her portrayal as June Carter Cash. And Witherspoon would become a household name just a few years later through box office hit comedies Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon rose to prominence in the late 1990s, a receptive era for twisted comedies ( Freeway), teen thrillers ( Fear, Cruel Intentions), and quirky satires ( Pleasantville, Election).
