It’s like that episode of sex and the city where Charlotte thinks the guy she’s seeing is gay. “I’m a pastry chef and I live in Chelsea. If I were gay, I’d be gay”

He’s a cheerleader and actor who lives in LA and comes from a performing arts family. If he were gay, he’d be gay
If the shoe fits, it's probably because it's his...

despite it becoming more socially acceptable in Hollywood, it's still more likely to damage a career than help it if a male actor comes out as gay.

That's, sadly, still true. It's said that if you want to cast an actor as a straight romantic lead (let's say Max in a college rom-com about a loveable or shy dude trying to get the popular girl), and the audience knows the actor isn't straight, virtually every moment they're thinking "not plausible" and the "suspension of disbelief" can't happen. And that's even if the actor makes it to casting and the project happens. We can separate our actors and their personal lives from their roles in many ways, but unfortunately, sexuality is still one key sticking point that, by and large, the average moviegoer can't. :(

Funnily enough, the opposite isn't true. Think Nicholas Galitzine and Edvin Ryding

Good thing he’s had a lot of practice getting his cheeks stretched.
