After two and half seasons, 11 Emmy Awards, and a recent visit to the White House, Ted Lasso has finally acknowledged its LGBTQ + characters: Colin Hughes (Billy Harris) and Trent. Ted Lasso watchers have speculated that AFC Richmond player Colin Hughes (Billy Harris) is gay since early in season two, and those suspicions were confirmed in season three’s third.

Three episodes into its third — and possibly final — season, the sports comedy TV series Ted Lasso just revealed that one of its regular characters is gay and closeted. Spoilers ahead for. If we’re ranking the gayest things that have ever happened in Ted Lasso, It doesn’t get much gayer than two men kissing, right? Well, how about two men kissing while another one watches?.

Television Business Editor. Harris also talked about working with star and co-creator Jason Sudeikis and the multiple takes of an audition tape showing off his skills on the pitch. Yes — in season two, that was something that we had a conversation about. How did they approach you with it, and what was your reaction to the idea? Obviously, we get the scripts in advance, and it was really around the Grindr line.

It was something that I spoke to the writers about, and there were two brilliant writers, Dylan Marron and Chuck Hayward, who came into season three. They were basically assigned to the Colin storyline. They did a brilliant job. But is he out to his family or anybody else close to him? And if he has brothers and sisters, they know as well.

But I think the most important thing is the fact that his personal life and his career are not able to combine. Did you speak with any other athletes who have been in this situation? I think some people, they just see the player and not the person. I think with Ted Lasso , you can understand exactly why footballers or sports stars would want to hide their true identity.

Their work life is tough enough. And then to have away fans — thinking in your head the awful things that they could say. I think that Ted Lasso is trying to just show you a storyline that people would typically not think about — why would someone struggle to come out in in, in sports? How does Colin deal with the microaggressions and cracks in the locker room? I think we can all relate to being in a workplace or an environment [like that].

Ted Lasso deals with toxic masculinity as well, although the footballers are really lovely, lovely people. Sharon [Sarah Niles]. But he knows that all he wants to do is for two lives to become one. It seemed like that conversation with Trent in Amsterdam really lifted something off his shoulders — you can kind of see it in your performance. Thank you. I have a lot on my plate.

I have a lot on my mind. Please can you listen? He does a fantastic job of just giving Colin the space to tell his truth. And then they then they go off into the night, and they have a great night. It really does feel like that — getting more to do each year and more responsibility. This was my first TV job.
