Childhood and Teenage Years
Luke Evans was born in the city of Pontypool in the southeast of Wales, into a working-class family of a builder and a cleaner. Luke's parents were members of the religious organization "Jehovah's Witnesses" and raised their son according to the strict principles of their faith. Despite all their efforts, the boy did not share their religious views, and by the age of 16 became an atheist.



Film career
During one of his performances, a British film studio rep spotted him and offered a small role as Clive Richards in "Sex, drugs and rock and roll," the Ian Dury biopic.




These days Luke is swamped with exciting offers from top film directors. The actor admits he dreams of escaping to visit his parents for a week, just sitting around the table with them in the countryside without internet or cell phones.
According to Zoomboola.com, Spring 2017 saw the premiere of the musical "Beauty and the Beast," Hollywood's adaptation of the beloved Disney fairy tale. The film stars Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, and Luke Evans playing Gaston, the main anti-hero of the story.

The personal life of Luke Evans
Despite his striking good looks and impressive physique, and despite the heroic characters he's known for playing, Luke Evans isn't married and doesn't date women. The reason is simple: he's openly gay and doesn't feel the need to hide it. He came out early in his career. This doesn't stop him from convincingly playing romantic leads opposite women or portraying heroic straight characters on screen.

Around May 2018, Evans started dating Victor Turpin. The two made a sweet couple.
