Table of ContentsReviewsCelebrity Bromance is a highly insightful exploration of the way male stars are coupled, homoeroticised, and commodified in contemporary popular culture. Lam and Raphael provide us with a wonderful set of case studies, drawing upon the threads of star and persona studies to theorise what these relationships mean to gender and sexuality, branding and commercial power. In this timely book we learn about the ‘bromance capital’ between such leading figures as Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. A fascinating, critically astute and pleasurable engagement with male-to-male stardom.
