Sonny Kendall (the short one) appeared on the teen idol website flexing and hugging guys. These two are nearly holding hands.
As of this writing, he is 16 years old, so I won't be looking for n*de photos (beefcake is ok).
I've checked his social media, and there's no question that he's gay.
Left: Sonny's date starts hugging before they even get a chance to order.
Sonny was born in East London in 2010. He was attending the Rhodes Theatre School in Romford in 2021, when he was cast in the soap EastEnders.
It is known for "difficult," controversial plot arcs, involving murder, r*pe, drug addiction, and human trafficking. And LGBT people. The first male same-sex kiss on British tv, between boyfriends Colin and Guido (Michael Cashman, Nicholas Donovan), in 1987. It didn't happen on American tv until 2003.
Sonny's character, Tommy Moon, is the son of Kat and Alfie Moon (Shane Ritchie), who have a tumultuous relationship, with various infidelities, a brain tumor, prostate cancer. an injury in a fire, and having twin sons named Bert and Ernie. Oh, and Tommy turns out to be the biological son of Alfie's cousin, the villainous Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd, left).
So this profile will just answer Question #1: Any gay roles?

Whoops, it looks like the EastEnders gig is Sonny's only on-screen role. But it has gotten him nominations for Best Young Performer at the British Soap Awards in 2022 and 2025, Rising Star at the National Television Awards (2023), and Favourite Young Actor at the TV Times Awards. So let's check it out.
The East End, north of the Thames and east of the Tower, is known for its Cockney rhyming slang, poverty, crime, and industrial blight. This is where Jack the Ripper found his victims, and Oscar Wilde found his rentboys.
In the 1990s, my boyfriend Lane and I went to the World Congress of LGBT Jews, held in a hotel on the Isle of Dogs, East London. It was dreadful.
The soap opera EastEnders, on since 1985, features the impoverished, the down-and-out, and the criminal . We don't see British versions of the Lords of One Life to Live or the Quartermaines of General Hospital. At least, not many of them.

Tonny is born in 2010, and starts out life in a controversial plotline about being switched with a dead baby. It takes a few plot twists for Alfie and Kat to realize that their kid is actually alive, and get him back. He lives through more of his parents murders, diseases, and infidelities, until 2014 , when they win the lottery and get the heck out of the East End.
