Lukas Gage, star of White Lotus, has a message for the masses.

The actor, whose salad was recently tossed on the fourth episode of HBO Max's dark comedy White Lotus, says he wants to see more of that on TV – and we're inclined to agree!

He recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen where he was asked if he exfoliated or manscaped to prepare for the scene.

"As a blonde, I'm naturally a little smoother," he shared. "A little exfoliating was needed but no trimming or waxing."

"That's so specific," Cohen replies.

Gage then confesses that he came up with the idea. "I thought we should normalize rimming," the 26-year-old actor says to whistles from the audience. "I think a*s-eating needs to be talked about more. In the script, it was sex. We've seen sex on TV, lets have some a*s eating."

Points were made!

Gage, who went viral a few years ago when a producer thought he was muted and mocked Gage's apartment during a zoom audition, has had quite a few gay and queer roles, including Derek on Love, Victor and Logan on Into the Dark: Midnight Kiss. He has never publicly spoken about his sexuality.
