Lukas Gage clarifies sexuality and says he’s ’10 per cent straight or bi’

Actor Lukas Gage has again said that he’s enjoyed relationships with women in the past.

The White Lotus star addressed his sexuality during an appearance on Owen Thiele’s podcast In Your Dreams, saying: “I’m like 10 per cent straight or 10 per cent bi.”

He continued: “But I emotionally can’t. There’s something that disconnects. That’s probably why I was such a horrible boyfriend to all the girlfriends I had til I was, like, 20.”

In November 2023, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton filed for divorce from Gage, citing “irreconcilable differences” – just six months after they tied the knot. The pair reached a settlement seven months later. 

Following the split, the actor formally apologised to Shania Twain, who performed at the wedding, for “wasting her time”.

Reviewing Gage’s memoir, I Wrote This For Attention, in which he opened up about his sexuality, PinkNews’ Marcus Wratten called it a “frequently crushing read”.

The Euphoria star wrote: “There was a lot of confusion because there was love for the girls I dated and the females I was with, but there was always something inside that I couldn’t quite articulate or figure out.”

And talking to PinkNews about sharing that with readers, he said: “There’s something hot about owning your stuff.

Turning to the publicists in the room with him, he added: “I think I’m queer. Gay 90 per cent, 10 per cent straight. Can I say that? I don’t know. “Am I only with men? No. I don’t know exactly what the label is for that. But mostly gay.

“We’ll go with mostly gay… you can say gay or mostly gay. Or queer. I accept it all.”
