If you are confused as for why the scandal is so bad (especially for McQueen) - there’s a religion theme throughout the movie. Remember the poster of a young boy praying? McQueen once mentioned that his family is very religious, and this movie is based on his autobiography. Religion + porn = scandalous. - McQueen seems to be trying to seperate his two profiles, McQueen the porn actor/porn producer and Creed the straight-laced play-writer. - This movie is the first time he made it in film industry after trying for so long. It must have elated him that it was well-received. It could be the beginning of a career. Now it’s forever tainted with the scandal. - McQueen and Ed share an enthusiasm for sophisticated films. Films that are made to be art, not the cheap soap opera that everyone watches then forgets. No producer would want to work with Creed now that he’s outed as a porn actor. Sadly, that is the stigma that exists against porn industry.
