Luke Evans Talks Body, Bond, and Being Gay at 45 










Luke Evans, the hunky Welsh actor known for his roles in “Fast & Furious” and “The Beauty and the Beast”, recently caught the attention of Men’s Health publication. At 45, he candidly stated that he’s “happy” with his middle-aged physique in the glossy’s latest issue. 





“I look at today’s photos and I’m happy. At 45, I’m already middle-aged, that’s what they call it, right? I feel good. I could be better,” Evans told Men’s Health. “I look in the mirror and think about training more, drinking less beer… but life is not that simple.”










Keeping his body in check for years with rigorous training for his on-screen roles, Evans now enjoys a physique he’s been working on literally half his life. Unlike many celebrities who dread the inevitable ageing process, Evans is embracing it with open arms and a healthy dose of self-love, proving to the world and the LGBTQ+ community that ageing is sexy and nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, it’s impossible to mention Luke Evans without indulging in speculative whispers about the James Bond candidacy.

When quizzed about it, his reaction was intriguingly vague, leaving fans even more excited about the possibility. 





In terms of his private life, Evans, who came out as gay in his early twenties, has always been a positive representation of the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood. Without controversies or fanfares, he’s just himself – a successful actor who happens to be gay. Yet, he consistently uses his platform to support LGBTQ+ causes and inspire younger generations. 





So whether he’s flaunting his middle-aged physique in men’s magazines, sparking James Bond speculations, or living his life openly as a proud gay man, Luke Evans certainly knows how to keep us intrigued. Here’s to aging like fine wine, just like Evans does!

Out athlete Campbell Harrison, who recently made headlines after qualifying for the Paris Olympics, has provided new sparks for romance enthusiasts everywhere. He created an iconic moment by sharing a powerful kiss with his boyfriend, confirming the reality of their relationship, and showcasing a GCN (gay couple netizen) that has widely been celebrated across the LGBTQ+ community observed worldwide.





Harrison, renowned for his exciting sporting career and inspiring LGBTQ+ activism, has been into climbing since his early childhood years. His dedication and commitment to the sport have led him to compete on both domestic and international platforms, finally earning him a well-deserved spot in the Paris Olympics.

Despite the cutthroat competition in the world of athletics, Harrison has never shied away from his identity. He has consistently reminded everyone that a person’s sexuality does not determine their capabilities or success in any sphere of life, including sports. This act then, right after qualifying for such a significant event, was more than a simple expression of love—it was an embodiment of victory and acceptance. 





Brimming with joy, Harrison took to social media, sharing, “The happiness I feel right now is immeasurable. To be heading to the Paris Olympics is a dream come true. But to do it while openly being myself, my full, authentic self, feels just as much a victory. Sharing that moment, that joy, and that love, felt powerful.”





 




In an interview with Outsports, Harrison says that he didn’t think about the impact the joyful kiss he shared with his boyfriend would have.





“From what I could see, every athlete who qualified kissed their partner on the live stream,” he said. “But when it’s two men, it catches attention for sure. And that can be a good and powerful thing.





“I’m glad all the feedback I’ve seen has been so positive, but it’s interesting how this one really caught people’s eye: the same-sex couple.”





In the past few years, Harrison’s openness about his sexuality has helped increase the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community in sports. His story has encouraged young athletes around the world and has created a ripple effect, guiding more people to live their truth openly.





While his love life has increasingly captured public attention, Harrison remains private about the details, creating a perfect balance between his personal and professional lives. We may never know all the intricacies of his relationship, but what we can take away from this is that love triumphs, in all its forms and across all fields—even the Olympics.
