Lukas Gage Channeling 'Demon Twink' in 'Down Low'

Actor Lukas Gage said he is channeling 2021's "Demon Twink" as the inspiration for his role in the upcoming "Down Low."

As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Gage stars as a twinky masseur who is hired to give a sexually repressed gay man (played by Zachary Quinto) a happy ending. And then they live happily ever after.

Just kidding! The night goes down in a chaotic, sexually charged mess, which is basically your typical gay circuit party.

"I was really channeling that Demon Twink era. Cameron was inspired by the Demon Twink," Gage told EW. "I just remember filming and [the Demon Twink] was happening at the same time. I was like, 'This was meant to be. This is kismet. This is my homework.' It was delivered to me."

If you remember DJ Ty Sunderland coined the term after recounting his gig playing a Britney Spears-themed boat party in New York City. An out of control gay man, deemed "a DEMON twink," reportedly "threw a drink at the dj equipment" and "wouldn't get off the stage" unless he stopped the music. The cherry on top is that he was apparently "getting his ass ate... out in the open."

The story became the stuff of legends as people attempted to identify who the partygoer might be. And now the legend is inspiring films.

"I think it's definitely a boundary-pushing film that will make a lot of people uncomfortable, and maybe a lot of things will fly by people's heads and they won't catch onto the humor, but we just wanted to do something that was for us," Gage says. "We just wanted to make each other laugh and tell a story that was also saying something."

Are you ready for "Demon Twink" the movie? "Down Low" will screen at Outfits on July 15. The film will be released later this year.
