Oliver's instagram posts consist mostly of beefcake poses accompanied by little inspirational quotations:
"Pleasures, when they go beyond a certain limit, are but punishment." - Marcus Aurelius
“Don’t waste your time looking back. You’re not going that way.” - Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking hero of the 9th century.
“Two are better than one because they have a more satisfying return for their labor; for if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion." -- the Book of Ecclesiastes
“A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course of victory” -- not attributed
Oliver also posts scenes from his roles playing a Jazz Age Gatsby type, the Irish lad in steerage, and cowboys -- a lot of cowboys. He must star in a lot of Westerns. But according to his resume, he graduated from Eastbourne College, Oxford (a secondary school) in 2018. That doesn't give him much time for costume dramas.
And his resume lists only one starring role, a short entitled The Two Gambits (2024): Walter (Herbert Forthuber) tells his therapist that many years ago, his wife left him to live with her boyfriend, taking her five year old daughter, Ava. He told his young son Isaac (Oliver) that they died.
Isaac grew up angry and resentful, and finally left home, telling him "Do not try to find me." Years later, he returns, looks up his long-lost sister, and asks her to pose as a therapist to determine why "Dad killed our mother."
Isaac never expresses any heterosexual interest, so I'm going to list him as gay by default.
The Caged (in post-production) is based on "true events" at The Cage in St. Osyth, Essex. In the 1580s, it was a holding cell for women accused of witchcraft; then it became the town lockup (for drunks and petty criminals); and in the 1980s it became a private home. Residents complained of slammed doors, footsteps, strange objects appearing, disembodied voices, and a face with "an evil grin."
Edmund Kingsley, son of the suddenly-straight Sir Ben Kingsley, stars in the movie. Oliver's character is near the bottom of the cast list.
Wind of Change (completed): During the Cold War, Klaus Meine of the a German rock band called The Scorpions (Ludwig Trepte, left) wrote the titular song for his imprisoned friend Andrej (David Kross, below) It became a symbol of hope during the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
Sounds like there will be a gay subtext.
More after the break
And The Last House, with a nuclear family trapped in their house by an alien presence -- for years. Dad is played by Wagner Moura, left, who is straight in real life but played a gay character in Futuro Beach (2014).
Plus the teenage son (Noah Alexander Sosnowski) may have some queer coding: there are no teenage girls in the cast list, but there's a boy (Gabriel Barbosa, left). So no girlfriend, but maybe a boyfriend.
Oliver plays a One Night Stand, presumably the wife's before the house is sealed up.
Wait -- what about the movies set in the 19th century, and during the Jazz Age? What about the cowboys?
Apparently they are just photo shoots. Oliver is modeling these suits to sell, or maybe just for fun. He's a cowboy a lot.

The few personal photos on Oliver's social media are inconclusive. He's hugging a woman in one, and hugging a guy in another. He spends a lot of time with guys, shooting guns, playing golf, and playing cowboys, but he dances cheek-to-cheek with ladies.
Instead, Oliver tells us: "This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we know what to do with it.” Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The Third Day: Jude Law in "The Wicker Man," with scissor goblins, a dead son, Will Rogers, and Dagliesh dick. Set in Essex.
