Troye Sivan Shares his Drugs on IG & Who Is the 'Hard Launch' Mystery Man?
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
What drugs is Troye Sivan taking?
He shared some of that information with a tweet of his Instagram stories of two pics. The first is a shirtless selfie and the second is of his palm holding five pills – three brown capsules, a white octagon, and a familiar blue oval.
"This combo keeps me gay," he captioned.
The brown pills appear to be Metamucil; the white octagon is believed to be finasteride, which treats male pattern hair loss; and the third is the PrEP drug Descovy.
"PrEP is the groundbreaking medication that prevents the transfer of HIV, which gay men are at a higher risk of contracting," writes Prides.com." And many gays take Metamucil as a source of fiber that helps with bowel movements and, in turn, makes for a... cleaner bottoming experience."
Also on Instagram, Sivan posted a pic of himself in profile dressed black leather and stud jumpsuit that appears to be caught in a what appears to be net of small, silver balls wired together.
He captioned it, "On my pop star gig again."
Sivan also posted a "hard launch" photo with his publicist and friend, Brett Rutt.
"Taking to Instagram today, the 'Bloom' and 'Angel Baby' singer posted a pic of himself (in an all-denim outfit, btw) getting cozy on a white couch with a man named Brett Ruttenberg, who he also tagged in the post," writes Out Magazine.
"Hard launch," he simply captioned the pic, playing on the "soft launching" social media trend, where people slowly tease the identity of their new significant other to their friends and followers.
But the post led to some confusion by his fans, who thought Sivan was introducing his new boyfriend. This led Sivan to amend his original post with "Hard launch (as publicist and bestie)"
Ruttenberg has an IG account – check out some pics:
