"Be fr would y'all be mad at me if I thought I was a little bisexual," he tweeted.

The actor, who shot to fame in 2023 after starring in HBO's popular and critically-acclaimed live-action adaption of The Last of Us, opened up in a January interview with The New York Times about how their gender has "always been very fluid."
"Someone would call me 'she' or 'her' and I would think about it, but I knew that if someone called me 'he' it was a bit exciting," they said, also stating they opt for the nonbinary option on a form whenever they have the opportunity. "I'm very much just a person."
"Being gendered isn't something that I particularly like," they continued, talking about being nominated for a Critics' Choice Movie Award (a gender-neutral category) for Best Young Performer. "But in terms of pronouns, I really couldn't care less."
