"Yes, as it turns out, and then some. In I Wrote This For Attention, Gage doesn't get to his starry ascent until the final quarter. His turbulent childhood and wayward teen years in Encinitas, California make the lives of those in HBO's Euphoria, Gage's breakout series, look peaceful. There's addictions (his brother to heroin; his mother to casinos); Gage's own dabbling with getting high from age 12; family members' imprisonment and friends' deaths; the devastating sexual abuse he endured aged 11."
"Sure, there's a handful of sordid tales to spill from his six years of being properly in the biz - his marriage to hairstylist Chris Appleton, flanked at the ceremony by Kim Kardashian and Shania Twain; that toe-curling viral video of a director bitching about his apartment; his very online coming out; receiving annilingus in The White Lotus and a golden shower in You - but is there enough material to fill 300 memoir pages?"
Lukas Gage grew up in Encinitas, California, amid a turbulent childhood and wayward teenage years. Family life included addiction—his brother to heroin and his mother to casinos—alongside imprisonment of relatives and the deaths of friends. Gage began using drugs at about age 12 and endured devastating sexual abuse at age 11. His twenties brought public visibility through television roles, high-profile relationships, and viral moments, but also abandonment, anxiety, a borderline personality disorder diagnosis, and destructive relationships. Sharp, spiky humour appears alongside frequent emotional weight and a conflicted need for attention contrasted with a desire to flee.
