Rising Star Jake Picking for Attitude August 2020. After making waves as Rock Hudson in Ryan Murphy’s ‘Hollywood’, Jake is setting sail for stardom as he leads the Attitude August issue, out now to download and to order globally.

As Rock Hudson in Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood, Jake Picking breathed new life into a gay screen legend. As he leads the Attitude August issue, the fast-rising star sits down for an in-depth conversation with Rock’s friend and fellow icon Sharon Stone to discuss the ongoing trappings of the Tinseltown dream.

Rising star Jake Picking takes a cruise with screen icon Sharon Stone to talk about his latest role in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix hit Hollywood playing Rock Hudson—who Sahron knew as a young starlet.

“I read somewhere, that a secret isn’t real unless it’s painful to hold on to, and I feel like that’s what Rock was doing with his truth and there is a tragedy in that. Not being able to express who you are.”

Jake says

“I think there are so many qualities that make up a human being, and to initially judge someone, in any way, based on who they are, or who they love, or what their skin colour is, is closed-minded and toxic.”
