This probably won’t come as too much of a shock to anyone who’s watched Lucas Cruikshank’s journey from Youtube star as his alter-ego Fred Figglehorn, through that character getting a series of movies and a Nickelodeon TV show, that he is gay.
Now the 19-year-old has officially come out, suitably enough in a Youtube video, where he sits on a bed with friend (and Disney star) Jennifer Veal, where they answer questions from fans. One of those questions is, “Are you gay?” Veal says “He’s gay!”, before Cruikshank laughs, throws up his hands and agrees, “I’m gay!”
He adds, “I’m gay. It feels so weird to say it. My family and friends have known this for like three years I just haven’t felt any need to announce it on the internet. I feel awkward!”
