The 2022 sci-fi film The Last Bus was all Robert Sheehan needed to capture the attention of Generation Z. But when a millennial is watching you, it’s no surprise that they want to know everything about you, including personal matters like your sexual preferences.
So here is the answer to the question of whether this actor is gay and who is he dating in 2022.
Is Robert Sheehan gay?
No, Robert Sheehan is not gay. In short, he is a straight man who has had a few “experiments” in the past.
From a young age, Robert was inspired to believe he could do whatever he wanted to do. “There was no talk of, ‘Oh, that’s not the most realistic thing,'” he explains. It’s no surprise that the actor wasn’t afraid to explore his sexuality to see if there were any gay or bisexual streaks.
Additionally, he added, “I think it would be irresponsible not to question my sexual orientation.”
In his younger years, after dropping out of college in Galway, Robert had “plenty of opportunities” to meet girls. But it wasn’t always girls. The actor shared that he had his fair share of intimate moments with boys. However, things didn’t really work out for him. “I tried, experimented to see if it would work for me… No, but I tried,” he recalled.
Yeah, that’s it. Robert may have had a few flings with men in the past, but that only confirmed his claim that he wasn’t gay.
Additionally, the actor now prefers to play male roles, and he did so in The Last Bus. His character, Dalton Monkhouse, is a tech billionaire who plays the role of providing students with answers when it comes to psychotic robots.
Joining him this season are the cast — Tom Basde, Daniel Frogson, Curtis Kantsa, Lauryn Ajufo, Lara McDonnell, Carys John, Nathanael Saleh, Moosa Mostafa, Marlie Morrelle and Phoebe De Silva
The Relationship Between Robert Sheehan and Sofia Boutella
Robert Sheehan and Sofia Boutella began their relationship in 2014 after first meeting on set. However, the two kept a low profile at the time and only started making public appearances—at bars, restaurants, and other events—much later.
And when they finally went public, they made sure the world knew they were dating. Back in 2015, the couple even shared a photo of themselves flying in a helicopter piloted by Tom Cruise. Yes, the Mission Impossible actor.
Unfortunately, the couple later split in 2018.
Sofia then became engaged to Miles McMillan.
But despite the pair going their separate ways, they admitted they were “still very much in love” and have remained good friends ever since.
Is Robert Sheehan Dating Anyone in 2022?
That’s right, Robert Sheehan is dating “someone” in 2022. Sadly for his fans, he wants to keep his girlfriend a secret. However, he did share quite a few details about his relationship with his current girlfriend in an interview.
According to the actor, dating has now become a “fun learning challenge” — confronting himself and recognizing old patterns that emerge and then watching them dissolve. Overall, relationships have become easier for him because he knows he’s only battling himself.
“All of a sudden you become a five-year-old and have the same feelings as when your mom tells you to go to bed early, and all of a sudden you’re playing yourself as a five-year-old, and your girlfriend is your mom, and you can punch a wall because you’re an adult,” he explained.
Additionally, Robert also confessed that although he may be much better at relationships, he still tends to be quite selfish at times.
As for plans to settle down and start a family of his own, that seems like a distant dream for Robert. Even watching his friends get married makes the actor “extremely uncomfortable.”
Did you know: After Robert split from Sofia in 2018, he was no longer interested in one-night stands and sleeping with fans. That’s right! Plus, he shared that he even apologized to a few of his exes afterward.
