Hollyoaks heartthrob Gary Lucy is turning up the heat in an unexpected way! The charming actor, known for his on-screen charisma, recently took to Instagram with a cheeky post that left fans both amused and intrigued. In a move to grab the attention of his elusive teenage son, Gary humorously threatened to start an OnlyFans account. The actor shared a playful snapshot, hinting that if his 14-year-old didn’t call him back soon, he might just bare it all online.
“If this isn’t embarrassing enough … If I don’t get a ‘substantive’ reply from my 14-year-old (you know who you are) by tonight I’ll open an OnlyFans page,” Gary wrote, blending humor with a touch of parental exasperation.
Fortunately, his light-hearted strategy worked wonders, as Gary later confirmed that his son did indeed return his call. "Lo and behold, it worked … ‘the boy wonder’ called me," he quipped, reassuring fans that he won't be joining the platform just yet.
In other news, Gary was slated to take the stage in the popular play 2:22 A Ghost Story this month. However, he had to bow out just days before his debut. Though the exact reasons behind his sudden withdrawal remain undisclosed, a source close to the actor revealed to The Sun that family matters took precedence. "Gary had to withdraw from the production because of a personal matter involving his family," the source explained, underscoring the importance of family first.
Grant Kilburn, who was part of the 2025 cast, will step in to reprise the role of Ben, ensuring that the show goes on. Gary was initially set to perform alongside talented actors such as James Bye, Shvorne Marks, and Natalie Casey, but for now, his focus remains on personal priorities.
