Lukas Gage, star of The White Lotus, has revealed his relationship with British hairdresser Chris Appleton.
The 27-year-old actor played Dillon in the first season of the blockbuster TV show, when he was involved in a highly publicised sex scene with his employer Armond. (Murray Bartlett).
He was most recently seen in the fourth season of You as affluent American playboy Adam Pratt, owner of prestigious London social club Sundry House.
Lukas and Chris, 39, revealed photos from their vacation to Mexico last month, but the actor has now talked publicly about his new love for the first time.
‘I feel very happy, very lucky and very much in love,’ he said.
‘He’s a good-looking man. There’s something about being in London.
‘I think I got a taste of the Brits and couldn’t help myself,’ he added when appearing on The Today Show and referencing his time spent in the UK filming You.
During the conversation, Lukas also joked about dating a hairdresser.
‘I think this mane needed to be tamed. I also needed to be tamed,’ he said.
He added: ‘We have fun together. We go on adventures. He’s the best.’
He’s the greatest.’
Chris, who is most known for having clients such as Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, and Katy Perry, went on Drew Barrymore’s talk programme earlier this month and discussed their connection.
‘I’m very happy…I’m very much in love and I feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special,’ he said.
‘I’m deeply in love, and I’m grateful to be able to spend my time with someone extremely wonderful,’ he added.
He went on to say that love is a “really special thing,” and that “meeting someone with whom you really connect is really, really special.”
Before Chris made these statements, Lukas wasn’t saying much about their relationship status, telling the New York Times that people might ‘believe’ he was in a relationship if they wanted to.
‘I’m a pretty open book about most things in my life, but I have a problem with the culture of everyone needing to know everybody’s business and nothing can be sacred,’ he said.
‘It’s a weird line that I’m still trying to figure out.’
While Lukas is unlikely to return for the next season of The White Lotus, it has been announced that the next third season will be set in Thailand.
Season one was recorded at the Four Seasons Resort Maui in Wailea, and season two at the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace in the Sicilian town of Taormina. There are three Four Seasons in Thailand, with probable filming locations including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui.
The White Lotus is available to stream on NOW.
