Get to Know Queer Actor Keiynan Lonsdale with These 12 Social Media Posts

Keiynan Lonsdale is one of the most talented queer entertainers working today. He's only 31 years old, but he's already created a large portfolio of films, TV appearances, and music that makes him a truly versatile actor and singer. The Australian star's first notable role was with a lead character in the CW series "The Flash." He gained further notoriety for playing opposite Nick Robinson in the film adaptation of "Love, Simon," which was the first LGBTQ+ romantic comedy ever released by a major studio (20th Century Fox).

Lonsdale has also released his own album in 2020 called "Rainbow Boy." The songs in this album are both inspiring and enjoyable for queer audiences all around the world. Lonsdale incorporates his daring, fashionably androgynous style throughout much of the album and the accompanying music videos. Between all of this creative content, there's something for everybody to enjoy from Lonsdale's collection. We thought we'd celebrate the sexy star in all of his glory by perusing through social media, including some thirst traps. Here we go!

Old Spice is known for their charismatic advertisements for their long line of deodorants, so it only makes sense that someone with a fun personality like Keiynan Lonsdale would do well marketing their products. This IG post shows off his sense of humor, his dance moves, and his armpits. There's surely something in there for everyone to enjoy, right?

Keiynan Lonsdale shows off his bold fashion versatility here with four different pictures showing off various looks for the audience. Zebra pants, rob and underwear, and basketball shoes as a necklace are certainly contrasting styles, but Lonsdale pulls them off with ease due to his courage to try anything on.

We get a peek inside the recording studio with Lonsdale in this set of pictures with the singer holding onto his microphone during a break in the action. We're not complaining about his willingness to keep his shirt off in this instance, either.

Lonsdale connects with fans in this TikTok video by talking about two different times he experienced something almost every queer person has: unrequited love with a straight friend. It's nice to know that celebrities struggle with the same things we do, and it's sure to give LGBTQ+ youth the courage to shoot their shots just like Lonsdale.

Lonsdale has also been incredibly willing to experiment with different hairstyles throughout the years. This long braided look is much different from many of his other hairstyles, and we definitely think it's a perfect 10/10!

There's a lot to handle in this Twitter thirst trap! Lonsdale covers up his *inset euphemism here* with the Pride flag, and the Australian sun is bursting with happiness in the background. It's a perfect representation of the freeing feeling of embracing your true self no matter what gets in your way. The sunglasses in the second picture are a sexy look, too!

Lonsdale graced the cover of Vogue Hong Kong in March of 2022 with a variety of shirtless thirst traps by the beach. His hairstyle is yet another great choice with the ensemble of fashion adorning him in the set of pictures. Fans in the comments section sent their well wishes and told him how proud they were of him.

Lonsdale's message at the MTV Movie and TV Awards in 2018 was all about living your dreams in whatever shape or form they come in. He proudly displayed his decision to wear a dress to the event, something that is still pretty courageous in a world with so much toxic masculinity.

Lonsdale inspirationally expresses his reasoning behind his music in this Instagram post accompanied by some thirsty armpit shots. He discusses how he's always known that he was going to be someone who aspired to inspire others, and it's a message many other celebrities should try to give their fans. Lonsdale's rich heritage and diverse ethnic background should also help BIPOC queer youth to accept themselves.

We're reaching peak thirst trap territory in this Twitter post from Keiynan Lonsdale. The entertainer lets his fans into his messy bedroom, showing us how celebs struggle with their personal organization just as much as the rest of us. Most fans are probably looking at the actor in his tighty-whities, though.

This post from Lonsdale is from 2018 in which the musician was proudly advertising his music video titled "Kiss The Boy." This was one of the first times Lonsdale accepted his queer identity and shared it with his fans!

Lonsdale shows off his poetry skills in this thoughtful post about how we all fit into the world, with a gorgeous backdrop and several shirtless selfies. It's always a good time for some introspection, and social media is a good place for some people to try it out.
