• People assuming that Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton are dating makes him pleased.
• Lukas Gage has been the subject of rumours that he is dating the celebrity hairstylist.
• He told the New York Times newspaper: If they want to think that, they can.

Following their recent trip to Mexico and their appearance on the red carpet together at Vanity Fair and TikTok’s Vanities: A Night for Young Hollywood in Los Angeles earlier this week.

The “You” actor has been the subject of rumours that he is dating the celebrity hairstylist. While he declined to confirm the rumours because he struggles with the “weird line” between being in the public eye and keeping some things to himself, he didn’t completely deny the rumours.

Asked about the romance rumours, he told the New York Times newspaper: “If they want to think that, they can.

“I’m a pretty open book about most things in my life, but I have a problem with the culture of everyone needing to know everybody’s business and nothing can be sacred. It’s a weird line that I’m still trying to figure out.”

The 27-year-old actor responded angrily to a Twitter user who said he was stealing queer roles from the LGBTQIA+ community by declaring, “You don’t know my alphabet,” and now Lukas has revealed he frequently feels pressure to identify.

He said: All the time. 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.’

“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.”
