Michael Cimino turned to one special family member for guidance just before he started filming Love, Victor.

The 20-year-old actor told People that he consulted with his cousin before he started filming the Hulu series.

“I talked to my cousin, who is gay. He told me things that really hurt him and helped him [when he was coming out.] It was very special for both of us,” Michael shared, while promoting the series, that just debuted this week.

Michael added, “I wanted Victor to feel like a real human being. I feel like the most important thing about this whole story is that someone could relate to Victor and relate to his story, no matter what your sexual orientation is, no matter what ethnicity you are. And I feel like adding elements of myself and of my cousin, did that.”

Tbh when you chase your dreams I feel like there’s always a part of you that doesn’t feel like it’ll really happen. But seeing the show. On my TV. Surrounded by people I love?! It was probably one of the most surreal moments of my life,” he wrote on Instagram.

“I’m so grateful for the amazing cast and crew. Thank you all for working so hard. Thank you all for the long nights. And all the stories shared over coffee and tea. All of these things are what made this show so special. I love you all. And I appreciate every single person that has had their hand in this project, even the ones I haven’t met.

Simple answer, yes!

The Love, Victor trailer was just revealed earlier this week, and we got a quick glimpse at Keiynan Lonsdale, who plays Bram in the original movie Love, Simon.

Other than Keiynan, no other original characters from the movie could be seen, but that doesn’t mean we won’t get to see them in the series.

It has also been previously reported that Simon himself, Nick Robinson, is serving as an Executive Producer on the show, and that he’s narrating as well. Here’s hoping for maybe a cameo??

Love, Victor is of course a spinoff of Love, Simon, which is set at the same high school. It follows Victor (Michael Cimino), a new student at Creekwood High School on his own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city and exploring his sexual orientation.

When it all seems too much, he reaches out to Simon to help him navigate the ups and downs of high school.
