Noah's Arc might've originally premiered 20 years ago, but star Jenson Atwood knows he's still our "No. 1 Daddy."The actor played Wade in the iconic Logo series that defied the odds to premiere in 2005, and was thrilled to return to his role in the new 2025 film and he couldn't help but prepare to show off his body. On the Noah's Arc red carpet premiere in Los Angeles, Out asked Atwood how it felt to see the same reaction (thirst) over his character Wade all these years later. "I would like to think it's a little bit better, not the same body," Atwood smiled. "I mean, I worked hard. I knew what the production date was. I knew I had a goal, and I did what I could to make sure the audience would enjoy what they saw."Atwood stars in the film alongside the titular character Noah, played by Darryl Stephens. Created by Patrik-Ian Polk, the beloved story follows Noah, Alex (Rodney Chester), Ricky (Christian Vincent), and Chance (Doug Spearman), four Black men living and loving in Los Angeles. Noahs Arc: The Movie sees the men juggling their elevated careers with fatherhood, mortality, grief, and the ever-changing political climate. The film features guest appearances from Ts Madison and RuPaul's Drag Race star Kennedy Davenport, as well as sitcom legends like Living Single's T.C. Carson and A Different World's Jasmine Guy. See on Instagram Atwood says working on a scene with Guy was a "phenomenal" experience."She helped shape my sexuality as a kid," he reflects. "I remember seeing Jasmine Guy on TV for the first time and feeling a certain kind of way. This is all full circle for me."Atwood also took the time to reflect on the 20-year legacy of Noah's Arc. "As an actor, I didn't really think about the impact my work could have on society in a positive way," he says of the original 2005 series. "It just was for entertainment at first, and you know, to be able to make that gear change early in my career, you know, it means the world to me. Noah's Arc will live on even before I'm dead and gone, and that makes me feel good.""I still get emails, DMs, to this day from people who are just seeing it for the first time, and I'm blessed," says Atwood. "Twenty years ago, Black men who looked just like me would tell me, 'because of this show I didn't kill myself.' It's impactful. Noah's Arc is is more than just a show."Noah's Arc: The Movie is now streaming on Paramount+.
