Disney princes re-imagined as gay guys in lockdown

Girl, we need to have WORDS with Pinocchio.

By Joseph Kocharian

Queerantine bingo time: Have you done any of the following?

Shaved your head? Dyed your hair blonde? THEN dyed it pink? Baked banana bread? Subscribed to, or started your own OnlyFans account? Gone on ‘Live’ on Instagram? (if so, please stop). Started a TikTok account?

Well, illustrator Tommy Taylor has tapped into emerging gay lockdown culture to imagine what our favourite Disney princes would be up to in isolation.

Sharing the results on his Instagram feed @tomtaylorillustrated, the designs reveal what Aladdin would look like with a buzzcut (answer: even hotter) and why we’ll never be able to watch Pinocchio in the same way again *sobs*.

Check out Tom’s work below:

Yes, we would like to sample your banana bread, Tarzan:

Spa self-care with Prince Naveen looks very appealing:

The dad from Inside Out remains our Number One:

Prince Eric got bored enough for a selfie in the bathtub: 

Seriously, he’s really bored, you guys:

We would 100% sign up to Prince Eric’s Onlyfans’ account.

So that’s who Eric was Facetiming in that last pic…

Mr. Incredible’s all dressed up with nowhere to go. A tragedy!

Captain Hook with hipstar tattoos? We ain’t mad about it…

Prince Eric tried out the bleach blond look first: 

 We didn’t think Aladdin could look any hotter, but the buzz cut has proved us wrong:

And finally, a home workout with Hercules, in his jock. When are you going ‘Live’ with hints and tips, Herc?:

We’re very hot and flustered after all that #Queerantine content. Check out more on Tom’s Instagram (@Tomtaylorillustrated) and also, for when we’re all allowed out again, his club night, Thicc London, ‘London’s biggest fat, femme, queer body positivity clubnight’ at The White Swan (@thicclondon).
