Netflix stars Miles Heizer and Angus O’Brien have reunited in a shirtless gym photo, four months after their show Boots was cancelled.
In the queer military drama, Heizer played closeted lead character Cameron Cope. O’Brien appeared as the chaotic Thaddeus Beau Stirling Hicks.
Sharing photos to his Instagram Story, O’Brien revealed that he was spending time with Heizer, who he previously described as his “soulmate”.
In one photo, the actors – both out as gay – could be seen in a gym. Posing with their shirts off, the boys’ proudly showed off their sculpted bodies.
The double thirst trap made its way to X, and it’s safe to say fans were not calm about it.
One said: “I still don’t get how dude’s abs are so sculpted and bulging.” Another wrote: “And this didn’t get a second season for what reason?”
Someone else wrote: “I think I’m pregnant. I’m a man.” A fourth added: “Gawd d*** what a beautiful day to have eyes.”
‘That’s my best friend in the entire world’
Angus O’Brien previously opened up on the bond he’d made with Miles Heizer while working on the show together.
He told Out in October 2025: “That’s my best friend in the entire world. I’ve had cast friends before, and I love those kinds of relationships. But if there was anything surprising from the experience of shooting Boots: It was unexpected to meet someone that I do feel like is a complete soulmate of mine.
“I’ve never had that experience on a job before. It made showing up to work every day so much fun. It made the times where we were all nervous, and spiralling, and scared, that much more bearable. We could sort of text each other and rely on each other.”
Why was Boots cancelled?
Sadly, Boots was cancelled by Netflix after just one season.
After the streaming giant caught some backlash for the decision, CEO Ted Sarandos was forced to deny it was axed because The Pentagon had branded it “woke garbage”.
He told Variety in February 2026: “These are all business decisions based on audience relative to the cost of the show. Do the people who push play watch it ‘til the end? Do they give it a couple thumbs up? Does it keep growing? All those things. That decision is made every day.”
