Lukas Gage is nothing if not a very contemporary famous person. He goes from being a total unknown to viral notoriety when a prissy English director is filmed criticising his tiny apartment on Zoom. Then a man on far too many drugs performs anilingus on him in The White Lotus. Then he marries Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist before divorcing him six months later. And now he’s written a memoir at the age of 30, because why not? It’s called I Wrote This for Attention. Everyone told him to call it something else.
“It’s too long, very polarising, and people will hate me for it,” Gage laughs, from his (slightly bigger now) apartment in New York. “But it also meant I could beat people to the punch a little: like, ‘Why did this young person who doesn’t really have a career write a memoir?’”
