Lukas Gage Addressed His Relationship With Chris Appleton, And The Pressure To “Label” His Sexuality
? Warning: You Season 4 spoilers. ?
And a White Lotus Season 1 spoiler, if you STILL haven’t seen it yet.
Lukas Gage is making a name for himself for his sexually charged show-stealing scenes in some of the most popular television series.
HBOAnd most recently, in You Season 4, he played Adam Pratt, a wealthy playboy who gets peed on by his employee.
NetflixBut in a recent interview with the New York Times, the 27-year-old actor made it clear that while he’s open to talking about the sexuality of his racy on-screen characters, he would rather have some elements of his personal life remain private.

The issue of celebrities being forced to address their sexuality is, unfortunately, nothing new, but it does beg the question of when the obsession goes too far. Especially when celebrities like Lukas are accused of “queerbaiting” or using LGBTQIA+ characters and sexual ambiguity for personal gain.
Alberto Rodriguez / Variety via Getty ImagesLast year, Lukas responded “You don’t know my alphabet” when he was accused of taking roles away from queer actors. I think it’s an ignorant assumption to judge anyone’s personal life based on a few outfit choices and television characters.
Lukas also mentioned that he was even pressured by his former agent to label himself. “An agent that dropped me was like, ‘Stop dyeing your hair, stop wearing weird clothes and pick a lane: gay, bi, or straight. It’s too confusing.’”
Jerod Harris / Getty ImagesYikes.
In the end, Lukas made a great point about visibility and privacy. “I understand representation and voices that need to be heard, but I don’t want to do anything on anyone’s accord but my own. Let me do it when I’m ready. And it’s acting. I feel like everyone should get the opportunity to play whatever they want.”
