Lukas gage gay

In the dark comedy, Gage plays a confident young gay man who encourages a repressed older man (Quinto) to embrace his sexuality. Coming out: Speculation around Gage’s sexuality began to swirl. Although he told the hosts that he was “obsessed” with his former girlfriends, it wasn’t until he met his neighbour that he realised he identifies as gay.

Gage went on to say that the neighbor currently lives in New York and has a boyfriend. "He has a nice boy that he's with now," he added. "We're friends. He's happy." He used to have girlfriends and. Appearing on the 7 May episode of the Seek Treatment podcast with Hacks writer Pat Regan and The Lovebirds actress Catherine Cohen, Gage revealed that he only realised he was gay while hooking up with his neighbour. 'You' and 'White Lotus' star Lukas Gage says a former agent pressured him to publicly disclose his sexuality but he's going to do it on his own timeline.

Then, in the supernatural detective comedy-drama "Dead Boy Detectives," released earlier this year on Netflix, Gage pounced into the role of the Cat King, an unabashedly queer feline-human hybrid. Written and directed by Parker Finn, the film offers a twisted take on stardom. It follows pop star Skye Riley Naomi Scott as she confronts her past trauma triggered by a series of horrific and gruesome events unfolding around her.

On a break from filming in the mountains of Spain, Gage spoke about the origins and inspirations behind his daring and nontraditional choices across diverse roles. He also reflected on his fans, who are so enamored that no tweet is too thirsty for them. I think, honestly, it comes from a deep fear of being boring, and it maybe comes from a deep fear of not getting enough attention when I was younger, so I knew I had to do stuff that was sometimes big and loud.

I have empathy for characters that really go to those places and do some things a lot of people see as unlikable or that maybe are unlikable, and I try to tap into why they are the way they are instead of judging them. But I'm just inspired by interesting, bold performers like Gena Rowlands and Ellen Burstyn, who play characters that are bigger than life, but still grounded.

When I see you perform, I often think about what it would be like if you collaborated with queer filmmakers like Gregg Araki or John Waters. Yeah, I would love that. And people, when they watched it, were very shocked, and some people were disturbed by it. I admire that bravery in filmmakers. I think a lot of it comes from the stillness.

A lot of it comes with taking your time and not rushing any moment in the little micro movements and the little micro eye movements. I worked with this lady named Julia Crockett , who's a movement coach, and she really helped me try new things and get in my body and try different micro movements with my face. That was a new thing that I hadn't really been familiar with, and now it's something that I do in everything I work on.

I tried my best to not be sexy and to be as messy and unfiltered as possible, and so maybe that's a great note to myself to stop trying too hard because when I try to be hot, it's probably not, and when I try to be a manic, unhinged drug addict, I guess it's sexy. I think her looks, the dance moves, and the pop music itself is very queer and very fun.

Her vulnerability and her sadness too.

Their vulnerability and their honesty to talk about things that some pop stars won't is why a lot of people relate to them, and I think Skye Riley does that in a way. Her relationships with men and women in this film seems to be pretty ambiguous, maybe intentionally so. How do you read her when it comes to her sexuality in this film?

I think it's the same thing with her performances: You can't put them in a box, and I think that Skye Riley as a character, you can't put her in a box. You saw that she had an ex-boyfriend, but she seems like the kind of character who definitely experimented and is open to anything, but she has a complicated relationship with both male and female figures in her life. I mean, [and] complicated mom issues.

We don't know anything about where her dad went, why he's not in the picture.

We don't know. Her female friends are not great. The way that she treats men is not great. I mean, it's just all very, very, very layered and interesting and not defined. And how do you navigate that pressure in relation to your queerness and the ways others try to box you in? I think I'm still figuring it out, and it's still a thing that's a work in progress.
