Actor Lukas Gage has sparked conversations with his remarkably candid discussion about sexuality during a recent podcast appearance, where he described himself as being "10% straight" while confirming he still engages in intimate relationships with women.
Podcast Revelation Stuns Host
During his appearance on the "In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele" podcast, Gage addressed questions about his sexual orientation that emerged from a previous radio interview. The conversation took an unexpected turn when Gage was asked about his sexuality by a radio host, prompting him to clarify his identity in more detail.
Gage referenced his televised wedding to celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton on an episode of The Kardashians in 2023 as what he considers the "gayest" aspect of his life. However, he was quick to emphasize that this public commitment to a man doesn't define his entire sexual identity.
Defining His Sexual Identity
"I'm like 10% straight or 10% bi," Gage revealed during the podcast conversation. When host Owen Thiele expressed surprise and asked whether Gage had ever been intimate with women, the actor confirmed he had been with "many girls" and continues to enjoy such encounters occasionally.
The discussion grew more intense as Thiele pressed for details, specifically questioning whether Gage could "actually get it up with a woman." Gage affirmed his physical capability but admitted to struggling with emotional investment in relationships with women, which he identified as the reason his past heterosexual relationships ended.
Personal Life in the Spotlight
The conversation ventured into more graphic territory as Gage described specific sexual acts he enjoys with women, prompting laughter and disbelief from Thiele. This frank discussion comes as part of Gage's promotional tour for his new memoir, "I Wrote This for Attention," where he has positioned himself as an "open book" to audiences.
Gage's comfort with discussing intimate details of his personal life contrasts with another emotional moment during his press tour. In a separate appearance on Trisha Paytas' "Just Trish" podcast, the actor broke down in tears while speaking about reuniting with his estranged father.
The actor's marriage to Chris Appleton in 2023, which later ended in separation, remains a significant part of his public narrative. However, his recent revelations demonstrate the complexity of sexual identity and challenge simplistic categorizations, offering a nuanced perspective that resonates with many in the LGBTQ community and beyond.
