"He added that this isn’t just a misunderstanding among straight people, noting that even gay people sometimes struggle to grasp that attraction can extend beyond a single gender.

The actor, who appeared in a 2022 Calvin Klein campaign with his boyfriend Nic Ashe, has a fluid understanding of his own sexuality, which aligns with his performance as Owen/Isabel in I Saw the TV Glow."
