Our Straight Mates: Stefan Lagoulis

Stefan Lagoulis - Our Straight Mates DNA #292

Musical theatre star Stefan Lagoulis plays underwear bingo, grew up as a child gymnast, and reckons his straight mates are very lucky to have him.

The state of my hair is… Big and curly! I can’t be Australia’s favourite curly guy and walk around with bad hair.

The state of my heart is… Pumping hard, full of love, excitement and anxiety with all the exciting things currently happening in my life. There’s no coffee for me right now, otherwise it will explode!

The state of my undies drawer is… Overflowing! My underwear collection is chic. A good pair of underwear can make you feel great and set the day’s mood.

The best accessory I ever bought was… My vintage Prada sunglasses. They give rockstar energy every time!

The most famous person I’ve met is… Lin-Manuel Miranda. [Creator of Hamilton]

The best thing about working in musical theatre is… Getting to dress up and play for a living and, for a few hours, taking the audience on a journey! Every show could be someone’s first or someone’s last! It’s a special experience.

The worst thing about working in musical theatre is… Being away from family and having my best friends scattered all over the world!

Back in high school, I was… Driven to have the life I’m currently living.

If you want to make my blood boil, start talking about… Something you have no idea about, with big opinions.

If I could have one superpower it would be… Invisibility. I’d mess with my friends!

When alone in my car I… Am belting my heart out, giving a one-man concert. To the cars sitting next to me at the lights – you’re welcome!

I’m shit scared of… The dark. And when I can’t see the bottom of the ocean.

I feel sad when… I’m away for work during the holidays and miss out on making memories with my niece.

My best on-stage stuff up was… In Hamilton when I jumped onto a table and slipped. Also, in Aladdin, I dropped a prop drum into the music pit and dented one of the band’s instruments.

My favourite all-time TV character is… Raven from That’s So Raven. She’s iconic.

People don’t know that I once… Was a child gymnast and was going to live in Asia to train for the Olympics.

The song I can’t get out of my head is… Bye by Ariana Grande, and Beyonce’s version of Jolene.

The song that makes me smile and want to dance is… Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody. It always puts me in a happy and nostalgic mood and reminds me of my mum. Go, Felicia! No, really, that’s her name!

My straight mates are… So lucky to have me! They’re the best allies a gay man could ask for and they’ve always got my back!
