“Rare sighting in London,” Brandon captioned the below selfie of himself and Sam wearing unicorn neck pillows before sharing an other photo of Sam along with a heart emoji.
Sam and Brandon were first linked to each other back in October when they were spotted kissing in NYC.
During a recent interview on Ellen, Sam confirmed that he wasn’t single, but didn’t specifically say he was dating Brandon.
“So thankful for this beautiful familia!!! These two light up the world!!!” Alexa captioned a photo of her son Ocean and hubby Carlos. “My Los… Humble… Gracious… Kind but most of all GIVING husband. You have shown me how to have so much grace and love for people! You have had to face many trials while here in Vancouver and you have done it with so much joy and grace in your heart!!! I am a proud proud wife! You are a true representation of what it means to walk by faith! I love you and I am SO thankful for you!
The 13 Reasons Why actor took the second cover of the first ever HERO Winter Annual magazine, KJ Apa took the first.
Brandon‘s co-star Alisha Boe interviewed him for the issue – check out some highlights below!
Alisha on Brandon: “When I first started working with you, I really looked up to you. I remember doing our first scene together, I thought, ‘Wow, this guy is so talented.’ I thought you were going to challenge me so much, and you really have taught me a lot about acting. I was so angry because I’m twenty and I have been auditioning since I was fifteen and I’m like, ‘Wow, I really wish I went to a conservatory of some kind,’ because from what you’ve told me about it, you create this community.”
On getting cast in his first play � Peter Pan at school: “I got cast and then the passion and care went out the window, I didn’t learn the script and on the opening night I didn’t know anything. And I had the hiccups. I was like this frikkin’ crazy kid running around, I ended up trashing the last scene by walking on with the Lost Boys, they come on with Wendy and I was just like, ‘F— it, Mr Smee is going to come on with them.’ [Alisha laughs] I just had the hiccups the whole time, like this drunk pirate. I guess it worked.”

The “Too Good at Goodbyes” crooner � who recently spilled on his gender identity � opened up about his dating life while stopping by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday (October 23).
“So you won an Oscar for the Bond song and then you just went away. What happened?” Ellen asked him, referring to the controversial mistake he made during his Oscar acceptance speech after winning for Best Original Song in 2016 when he suggested he was the first gay Oscar winner.
“It all got a bit too much,” Sam answered. “After the Oscar I just really needed to hug my mom and just be with my sisters and go back home. A lot of mom snuggles.”
“It all started with a hip flask basically… of tequila,” Sam added. “I forgot to say ‘best male actor.’ I basically said that I was the first gay person to ever win an Oscar. I obviously know I’m not. Afterward I saw Elton John at the after-party and he was like, ‘I’ve won an Oscar.’”
“You’re not single right now anymore, right?” Ellen went on, to which Sam replied, “No, I’m not, which is crazy. It’s weird bringing out an album and not being single. ‘Cause when I brought In the Lonely Hour I was so lonely. But now I’m singing songs about another guy, I’m quite happy, so it’s quite weird.”
But first, did you know that Brandon actually auditioned for Clay Jensen the first time around? The second time was for Bryce. But he didn’t connect with either of them.
Brandon opened up to NKD mag’s July issue, revealing that he connects more with Justin than with any other character.
“It was like, the hardest audition ever because it was like three lines and I was like, ‘I don’t even know who this person is’,” Brandon shared.
Justin‘s character breakdown has him as the “kid who’s not from the right part of town, but is popular at school despite his interesting home life.”
“For some reason that really attracted me, because I remember being in high school and you wear all these masks,” Brandon says, “Justin wears masks constantly.”
“It’s almost like a survival technique, because you see what happens to him at home and you see… being a product of how you’re brought up and how that can make you interact with other human beings.”
