Summary

"Welcome back you naughty chickens! 🐓 😎 Harry is joined by his close friend Gianni Paolo: actor, writer, director, fitness entrepreneur, and star of the upcoming film TRUST (in theaters August 22nd). Gianni gets real about the highs and lows of working in Hollywood: from booking Power for just one episode and turning it into a multi-season arc, to being $20K in debt while hustling through TV shows and films like Ma. He shares the wild story of Octavia Spencer helping him land a publicist when he had no money, how Power’s cultural impact isn't recognized by traditional Hollywood, and why he’s grateful for the support of 50 Cent. Gianni also opens up about working with Sophie Turner, the struggles of dating in LA (including a Raya ban), and defends Harry’s honor after a run-in with a certain Selling Sunset star... Plus, the two wrap up with a hilarious friendship test game. Enjoy! Follow @BoyfriendMaterial across socials, leave a 5-star rating, and subscribe to the show to keep up with the fun. See you next week!"
