- There's this guy, it's so funny, who sends me DMs which are always a random picture of him with a glass of wine or just eating something, or with his foot up in front of the TV watching Derry Girls. He did send a picture once of just a glass of wine and I'm not sure if it was an invite or a brag about being able to afford wine. I don't know what the brag was, it could be anything. What are you going to reply? Well done on the glass of wine? I don't go into my DMs that often but when I do I don't usually open pictures because you just don't know what's there, same with videos and voice notes.
- At the start I had a lot of women messaging me and asking me out and thinking I was gay, some of them were saying they were so glad to see a gay actor on TV. It's weird how people assume. I get a lot of people asking me out and shooting their shot like you wouldn't believe, there's a lot of, 'Are you in Belfast do you wanna go out? 'Fancy a game of pool and a pint?'.
