VOTE: What is Brie Larson’s Sexuality?
Brie Larson’s Sexuality
The Captain Marvel star made some buzz online when she uploaded a video on her YouTube channel last January 15, 2021, with the title “Taking Online Quizzes About Myself!”
As the title suggests, Larson was seen answering some online quizzes about herself. One of the quiz questions reads: “You’re 10 years old, how do you spend an hour of recess?” She answered it with, “Searching Wikihow on the library computer for ‘how do you know if you’re gay.’” These instantly sparked rumors about the actress’ sexuality, making her name a trending topic on Twitter at that time.
Some fans see it as the actress’ subtle way of “coming out”. Larson, however, never directly addressed the questions about her sexual preference. But even if she’s not part of the LGBTQ community, one thing’s for sure — she’s an ally. She had always been one.
During a Comic-Con panel with fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe star Tessa Thompson last October 2021, while she was about to give a closing remark for the panel, a random fan yelled, “I just want to see lesbians!” to which she replied with, “How can I top lesbians?”
“I’m sure the lesbians can show you right after this panel,” she then quickly added.
Whether the pun was intentional or not, Larson still made headlines because of that incident.
Brie Larson’s Boyfriend
Brie Larson has been currently dating actor and Emmy Award-winning director Elijah Allan-Blitz since 2019. The couple made their first public appearance together when they attended the 2020 Academy Awards red carpet hand in hand. That somehow confirmed the dating rumors between them, which all started when a paparazzi caught them kissing in a parking lot while shopping in Los Angeles.
After they publicly confirmed their relationship, the couple was spotted more frequently. They also do not shy away from a little PDA. They were even spotted by some paparazzi kissing and enjoying each other’s company on a beach in Hawaii. Elijah sometimes visits Brie at work, as well.
