Gage’s Idea for Goggles and Comedic Value
“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,” Gage explained.
LGBTQ+ Audiences Question Gage’s Sexual Orientation
Some LGBTQ+ audiences have questioned why Gage has played multiple queer characters on TV shows without ever identifying his own sexual orientation. However, the actor has stood his ground against these remarks, responding to a critic in a tweet: “u don’t know my alphabet.”
If Hollywood can stop hiring non LGBTQIA+ actors like @lukasgage to play LGBTQIA+ characters, that would be great. He has played 4 so far. 1 was enough.

Gage’s Commitment to Characters and Nudity
Gage isn’t shy when it comes to performing these scenes and fully committing to his characters. He shared his thoughts on nudity and staying true to the scenes with The Hollywood Reporter:
“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.”
You Season Four Now Streaming on Netflix
Part one and two of You season four is now available for streaming on Netflix. Fans can expect to see Gage’s character Adam adding complexity to the show’s storyline, as well as more boundary-pushing scenes from the talented actor.
