**Link to the n*de dudes**

Discouraged over the low pageview count of my profile of Nolan Gould -- it was friggin' Nolan Gould! With a tree trunk! -- I wanted a sure-fire thousand-page view draw. Former teen stars always draw the most interest, so I checked on the teen idol site, and found Bryce Gheisar, with over 1,000 photos!

No idea who he is. From the name and general appearance, I'm guessing Turkish. Probably a singer, since singers tend to draw more fan attention than actors.

I usually profile only actors, but he's got a cute face, a very muscular physique....

And he is obviously gay, with lots of photos of hugging, cuddling, and sleeping with guys.

A basic internet search reveals that Bryce was born in 2004 in Plano, Texas (a suburb of Dallas), not Turkey. His father owned a fitness gym and is now a realtor, his mother runs a chimpanzee refuge, and his older brother is a gymnast.

They are Iranian-American, and adherents of Bah'ai, a religion founded in Iran in 1844 by the Prophet Bahá’u’lláh. It teaches the essential unity of all religions and all people.

Bryce is an actor, best known as Ethan in A Dog's Purpose and Julian in Wonder.

And I haven't even checked the IMDB or his social media yet. Dude is famous.

He bursts onto the screen in 2017, singing the theme song to the new Duck Tales and starring in three movies.

In A Dog's Purpose (2017), a dog is reincarnated several times over five decades, always ending up with Ethan (Bryce as a kid, KJ Apa as a teen, Dennis Quaid as an adult).

In Wonder (2017), Auggie (Jacob Tremblay), who has a facial anomaly, attends public school, gets a gay-subtext boyfriend (Noah Jupe), and draws the wrath of bully Julian (Bryce), who eventually has a change of heart and apologizes.

Bryce reprised the role of Julian in White Bird: A Wonder Story (2024): his grandmother tells him a story about hiding from the Nazis during World War II, and falling in love (with a boy, of course), thus convincing him to try to be a better person. "Heterosexual romance exists, so stop your bullying!" Auggie does not appear.

More after the break

Later Bryce starred in The Astronauts, on Nickleodeon (2021-22): Five kids sneak into a spaceship, and it blasts off! Grround Control can communicate with them, but otherwise they are on their own, with an AI that can't be trusted. Athletic Elliot (Bryce, right) and science nerd Will (Ben Daon, center) compete to become group leader. No heterosexual romances are mentioned in the episode synopses, so there are probably some gay subtexts.

In Season 2 of the new Are You Afraid of the Dark (2022), Bryce plays Luke McCoy, a high school wrestler and skateboarder. His best friend Connor (Parker Queenan) is captured by the Shadowman, and Luke enlists the Midnight Society to help rescue him. According to the fan wiki, "it is heavily implied" that the two have romantic feelings for each other. Don't beat around the bush: they're canon.

Bryce's most recent acting role is James the Second (2025): he plays a boy who "can't feel pain or emotion" until...you guessed it.

I've seen this before, many times: a gay-subtext childhood gives way to "girls! girls! girls!"

Bryce has also directed some music videos and shorts: Dumb Sh*t, The Noise, Teen Jesus, and Drive Her Home. No plot synopses available, but the icons have girls on them. Gulp.

But you're definitely gay in real life. Right, Buddy?

He doesn't have a social media presence, but half of the photos on the teen idol site show him spooning with dudes.

Since he's 20 years old as of this writing, I didn't look for n*de photos, but I posted a gym black-and-white that shows a lot, plus a random Iranian-American n*de dude, on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.
