“Home And Away” Star Lukas Radovich Comes Out And Introduces Boyfriend
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Home And Away star Lukas Radovich talks about his sexuality, his long-term relationship with Liam Forcadilla, and the journey he took to discovering himself, reports Instinct.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME RADOVICH HAS OPENLY SPOKEN ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY
The 28-year-old actor who played Ryder Jackson on the popular Australian soap opera shared some intimate insights into his journey as a gay man and as an actor.
“I definitely think when I was in my young twenties, I was still discovering myself and that now I feel comfortable enough to be able to talk about it,” says Radovich. According to Instinct, the actor has never explicitly kept his sexuality a secret, but coming forth and discussing it took him a while.
“The last five years have been quite a big journey for me; one, because of the show, but also coming into my own sense of self, just being comfortable, I guess,” he says. Radovich came out first to family and friends prior to being on Home And Away almost six years ago, and talks about being shy. He says, “I am quite a shy person by nature, quite introverted, so it takes a while for me to warm up to talking about things. And then after that it just wasn’t an issue.”
Since Lukas’ soap opera days, he has found love with professional men’s netballer Liam Forcadilla; the couple have reportedly been together for three years now. “[Liam] is actually the first person I introduced [to] my parents; that was my way of telling them,” says Lukas.
