Madden Zook: 5 soul-winning movies and 3,000 girl-hugging photos prove that he's straight, right? Plus some n*de ballet dudes

Madden Zook, who just appeared as #50 on the most popular teen idols of the week, looks like a model -- a little skinny, but with one of those "ratboy" faces that are all the rage. 

No question that he's straight in real life. 90% of his photos show him hugging, kissing, smooching, and licking girls.  Oh, here's one where she is just sniffing his bicep.

The girl-hugging would usually disqualify a guy from further research, but I was fascinated: the heterosexism was so very, very over the top, absurdly excessive.   Lots of straight guys devote most of their social media to hugging and kissing The Girl of Their Dreams, but every single photo on his Instagram and Facebook?  Dozens of them? What are you trying to prove, buddy? 

Wait --  I thought this was another girl-hugging photo, but upon closer examination, it's a dude hugging him.  

So, how did Zook become a teen idol? There are lots of swishy straight guys out there.  He must have done some acting or singing at some point.    

He has five acting credits on the IMDB:

Laps (2018): Swimmer Mitchell (Brayden Benson, center) is being bullied, so he tells the swim coach (Ian Lang).  That's progressive.  When I was a kid, the teachers sayd "You have to settle your own disputes," and my Dad enrolled me in judo lessons.  Didn't help.

Zook (left) and Cameron Judd (right) play the bullies. 

It was written and directed by Ian Lang, whose Internet biography reads: "And we know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to his purpose" -Romans 8:28. 

Maybe Zook is fundamentalist, and hugs and kisses a lot of girls to prove that he's not "that way" in spite of his swishiness? 

Ian also wrote, produced, and stars in Red Hood: The Fan Series (2019) is a Christian-based sequel to Red Hood: The Series (2016),: Jason Todd,  the Second Robin in the Batman mythos, returns to Gotham City as the vigiante Red Hood.  He is subdued by Bruce Wayne's son Damien (Cameron Judd again).  

I watched one of Zook's episodes: he plays a patient in a sinister hospital rescued by Damien.  I didn't stick around to see if they do any buddy-bonding; gay kids might like the lingering close-ups of 12-year old boys in muscle shirts, or sleeping in their altogether, but they made me uncomfortable.

More after the break.  

Old Middle School (2020): Cameron Judd and Zook are late for school, so they perform a parody of "Old Town Road," by Lil Naz:

My life is a movie, bull ridin' and boobies
Cowboy hat from Gucci, Wrangler on my booty

At least they keep their clothes on 

The writer/director is Stacey Pianko, not Ian Lang.  This was her first (and to date only) writing/directing/producing job.

Pariah (2021): A young boy with Asberger's Syndrome (Cameron Judd) gets bullied (by Madden Zook), but finds love and hope with The Girl.  Heteronormative ideology: the world is full of violent, belligerent men and kind, loving women. Written/directed/produced by Matt Wasserman (his second project).

Manifesting a Real King (MARK) (2022): Written, directed, and produced by Mark Hunt, who helpfully put his name in the title.  Ex-drug dealer Mark (that name again!) seeks refuge in a church. Zook is at the bottom of the cast list.

 

Turns out that the acting gigs are just a lark, to help out his buds and spread the Gospel.  Zook is primarily a dancer.  He studied at the Noretta Dunworth School of Dance in Dearborn, Michigan, and the Artflux Dance Lab, and as of the fall of 2025 is attending the Norwalk Conservatory in Connecticut.

Wait -- according to the LPSG, Zook is gay.  He posted Pride photos and discussed coming out on his social media. But then he deleted them, and started posting the dozens of "girlfriend" photos. 

Did he go back into the closet? Maybe he turned evangelical, was convinced that he would go to hell, and tried to "pray the gay away."  And kisses and hugs dozens of girls to convince himself...

Is dancing the best career choice for an Evangelical?  It's is not really set up for soul-winning, and some churches forbid it altogether.  When I was in high school, I got a religious excuse to get out of gym class on dance day.

Plus many dancers are gay.  I suggest dropping the "look how straight I am, girlfriend!" act and trying a gay-inclusive church: The Episcopal Church, the ELCA (Lutheran), the United Church of Christ, the United Methodist Church, the UFMCC.  Plus individual congregations of homophobic churches, even Southern Baptists.  

This profile is a little beefcake-light, so here are some ballet hunks.
