RG Beefcake and Boyfriends: Lucas Blas: Spanish teen idol with at least three gay/trans roles and a lot of boyfriends. Bonus nude Spanish dudes

Spanish actor Luca de Blas or Lucas Blas appeared on the teen idol website with the usual teenage beefcake and bicep photos.

Quite a lot of beefcake and bicep photos.

But when I started looking at his works, I found something else.

I found a boy wearing a crown of flowers.

Everyone else in the village wears sacks over their heads, but Lucas is not afraid to show his true face to the world. Even when he is in prison, he weaves himself a crown of flowers.

The villagers grab him and take him to a church to be sacrificed. He begins to bleed. The singer, gay musician Dulzano, jumps in, but it is too late; Luca dies in his arms.

It is the music video Jota de la Luna (2025), with lyrics that recall gay poet Garcia Lorca, giving us a poignant view of homophobia and the need to be who you are.

We must bring flower to flower/ when summer dries the blood of the Reaper

And open our hearts to sleepless birds
When winter knocks trembling at the door
When night falls I will say it
When the clear night arrives

I found an episode of Bosé, a biography of the famous gay (or "trisexual" singer Miguel Bosé, Lucas plays the young gay singer Carlos Berlanga, whose "¿A quién le importa?", released in 1986, became a gay anthem during the AIDS pandemic.

Who cares what I do?

Who cares what I say?

I am this way, and this way I'll stay

Nothing can change me.

I found Lucas wearing makeup, approaching his mother, arguing with her, trying to hug her. Later he grows his hair long and puts on a dress, suggesting trans identity, or maybe a femme gay boy. It was Ali (2021), a short film that won four prizes and seven nominations: "A desperate cry of child abandoned by his mother, who cannot give him love":

More after the break

And some projects with no immediately visible gay content:

Don't Listen (2020): A boy hears voices coming from the walls.

Interrogatorio (2021): Lucas plays the child version of the guy being interrogated.

El Hombre de Saco (2023): the Spanish boogeyman, based on the story of an elderly man with tuberculosis who thought he could be cured by the blood of children. Lucas and Lorca Prada (left) team up to fight him.

Maybe there's some gay content after all.

Checking Lucas' Instagram and Tiktoks, I find the usual guy-hugging photos, plus one hanging on the beach with a girl. Plus a quote from "Está Dañada," by Ivan Cornejo, the probably gay Mexican-American singer:

Su sonrisa, su carita, sus manitas
Ay, qué delicia, ay, qué bonita está tu carita
Le gusta bailar con sus amigas
Eso le saca su hermosa sonrisa

(Her smile, her little face, her little hands, wht a delight! She likes to dance with her friends; this brings out her beautiful smile).

Cornejo is singing about a woman, but Lucas quotes only the first two lines, which could refer to a boy or a girl.
