If you are keen to find out, you have definitely come to the right place so stay tuned.
Is Cameron Monaghan Gay in Real Life?
No one wondered about Cameron’s sexuality before his first appearance in “Shameless.” In the popular American comedy-drama “Shameless,” Cameron plays a gay character who is struggling to come out throughout the first season.
After the debut, many fans were eager to know if Cameron was actually gay in real life or not? Well, the answer to your question is rather simple. He is not gay!
Cameron addressed this matter via Twitter, posting “This is the only time I will answer this here: No, I’m not gay. Yes, I play a gay character. No, the question should not be relevant.”
But his sexuality never slowed him down to take the portrayal of his character to perfection, which you can clearly see in the show.
Even the executive producer John Wells had a couple of words to say regarding this subject.
In an interview with TV Critics, John said, “Even though he is straight, he fully accepted the meaning of his character and his ideals. Few actors could accomplish what Cameron did, I must say.”
Apart from this, Cameron had more than a couple of girlfriends in his life as well. Cameron and Peyton List, his “Anthem of a Teenage Prophet” co-star, dated for more than a year before they broke up in 2020.
