British actor Alexander Lincoln has seemingly come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Back in 2022, moviegoers in the UK were treated to the gripping independent gay drama In from the Side, starring Lincoln and Alexander King.
The story follows Mark (Lincoln), an inexperienced rugby player on the B team of a London gay rugby club. After a drunken encounter with Warren, the star player on the club’s A team, the two begin a sordid affair behind the team and their respective partner’s backs.
Upon its release, critics and viewers praised the film for stepping away from the usual coming out and homophobia-based storylines seen in many LGBTQ+-related projects.
The emotional performance of Lincoln was also praised by critics, resulting in the young talent earning a spot on the British Independent Film Awards longlist for Best Breakthrough Performance.
