He has been accused of being homophobic.

Recently, the Thai series 4 minutes has gained international popularity. 4 minutes It’s a BL drama about a college student who gains the ability to see four minutes into the future and the relationship he forms with a surgeon.
The series stars “Jesus“ JTilapornputt spit like the doctor Now AND “Bible” Wichapas Sumettikul AS Greatthe university student.
The series was originally supposed to star Bible and his former on-screen partner “Build” Jakapan Putthabut it ended up with this casting. An interesting aspect of this series is that there are two versions, one a little more tame and one nicknamed the “sexier” version.
An unexpected debate has arisen about the stars, linked to the more sensual content of the series.
On September 4, during the reaction video to the sixth episode of the series, in the “sexier” version, Jes admitted during an NC (not for children) scene that he was “very drunk”.
Jes: I was drunk that day, really drunk. Like I should drink alcohol 🥃 #4MINUTES2024 #film in front of the cinemaxJesBible#bsumone | #WichapasBible | #jesjpp@biblesumett @jesjpp 🤍🖤photo.twitter.com/zH9mReUSOT

The actor’s fans were quick to defend him from accusations of homophobia, citing the more extreme nature of the sex scene (analingus). Not only do actors have to perform in front of the crew during these sex scenes, but they also have to make them look natural, and intimacy isn’t always easy.
Drinking alcohol to act in difficult and delicate scenes is normal. If you don’t know, Samlin drank himself completely drunk to act this wonderful scene. If you think Jes is homophobic because he drinks, then you are stupid and ignorant. #4MINUTES2024 #jesjpp photo.twitter.com/ahMcuDMufI

All of this is present throughout my TL, so here are my thoughts:
I love and respect Jes and nothing he said has changed my opinion of him one bit. Some of you are having knee-jerk reactions (oh and btw if queer credibility is relevant then let’s just add that I’m queer too.)…

Calling someone homophobic because he checks his notes, needed a few drinks to shoot a scene he’s never done before in his career and was also realistic, I have to add that it’s a strange stance, but to each his own, I guess. Please also call out the hundreds of other artists who have done the same for this. https://t.co/OzOqHBuMek

Surprisingly, just a few days later, Bible came to his defense, admitting that he had also drunk alcohol before his first NC scene, and explaining why actors did so. Alcohol is a depressant, which means that when used responsibly, it can help an individual relax.
In the first NC scene I shot, I drank alcohol to calm my nerves.

I would tell each his own. The first time is hard for everyone, for me a little wine helped and now I can do NC scenes without alcohol. As long as you don’t abuse it or rely on it.

I’m not saying it should be normalized. I’m telling people the truth. The reality is that it’s really hard to film these scenes. I want to share my experience. Take it however you want. I’m just telling you the truth.

Jes also expressed her opinion, stating that it is not always necessary, but that it can help an actor to give his best.
The series is available to watch on multiple platforms, although the “sexier” version is only viewable on He saw AND Here you go.
