Lukas Gage Plays Queer Again in You & Has Viral Golden Shower Scene

Best known for his roles on Euphoria, Love, Victor, and The White Lotus, Lukas Gage is once again playing a queer character, this time on the Netflix series You.

Gage’s character Adam is the latest antagonist in Joe Goldberg’s murderous journey on You. Alas, the actor has gone viral for a different scene – one where he engages in the act of getting a golden shower from another man on the show.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gage explained the idea behind the scene:

“It was my idea to wear the goggles. With that scene, and in The White Lotus, I wasn’t doing it to be sexy, but for comedic value. I didn’t think it was going to be hot for people. But I did want to go as far as possible. It can’t be a half rim job, or a half golden shower… although we did use a water machine with yellow food coloring.”

Some LGBTQ+ audiences have called out the fact that Gage has now played multiple queer characters on TV shows but has never identified his own sexual orientation. But the actor has stood his ground against these remarks and even responded to a critic once, writing in a tweet:

“u don’t know my alphabet”

Nonetheless, Gage isn’t shy when it comes to doing these scenes and committing to the characters that he’s signed on to play. He told THR:

“I guess I’m a little more European in my thoughts on nudity right now. I’m not begging to take my clothes off, but I’m comfortable with it. I want to keep a sense of truthfulness, too. If there’s a scene where I’m having sex with my boss, it’s gonna be pretty f*cking weird if I have clothes on. Those scenes are so mechanical in their filming, anyways. There’s nothing sexy about a director telling you you’re thrusting weird.”

The first part of You season four is now streaming on Netflix.
