Lucas Ovalle’s Career
In June 2014, Lucas commenced his “Viner” career. I’m a Straight Gangstar was the first “Vine” he posted, and it received a lot of attention. Additionally, he reworked the Boris Laursen song “Vine,” “Don’t waste your time being sad.” Over time, Lucas developed a sizable fan base on the platform. Lucas was able to gain more than 100,000 followers on his ‘Vine’ account, boysru1e, thanks to his amazing acting abilities and comedic timing.
He subsequently shifted his attention to “Instagram” and quickly became well-known there. He has amassed almost 210 thousand followers on the social media network thanks to his Instagram posts. Lucas works as a director’s assistant in addition to being an actor. He performed in a couple of short films while beginning his career on “Vine.” With the 2014 short film “Two and a Quarter Minutes,” he made his acting debut. Josh, his brother’s director, had a lot of success with the movie, which aired at roughly 57 festivals, including the “Toronto International Film Festival.”
After that, he made an appearance in the 2017 love story “Spendtime Palace: Sonora.” He contributed to the movie as a director’s assistant as well. This short film earned a lot of praise, much as his debut one. Lucas’s brother served as a major source of inspiration for him to pursue filmmaking. In 2016, he made his filmmaking debut by posting the short film “Daydream Dystopia – (Super 8)” on his YouTube account. The channel only has 8,000 subscribers and is still struggling to grow.
Lucas’s Individual Life
On July 30, 2000, in the US, Lucas was born. Josh Kennedy, his older brother, is a recognized director, and Elijah Kennedy, his younger brother, is a rising actor. Emma Greer DiBiase, a.k.a. “Viner” to Lucas, was his girlfriend. Sadly, Emma was identified as having the cancerous condition of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. In 2016, she passed away. Lucas was very saddened by Emma’s passing and made the decision to contribute to a fundraising effort for cancer patients.
The cost of Emma’s cancer treatment was a challenge for her family to manage while she was receiving it. As a result, Lucas participated in a fundraising effort for the “Leukemia & Lymphoma Society” in an effort to give cancer patients’ families access to funding quickly. His supporters were quite appreciative of the gesture. Lucas frequently “tweeted” updates on Emma’s development. He stood by her side during the difficult time.
After Emma’s passing, Lucas experienced a mental collapse and had previously expressed a desire to end his life on his Twitter page. He then emphasized in the same post that his statement was a reflection of his inability to deal with Emma’s passing rather than a propensity toward suicide. Lucas is currently dating social media personality and beauty vlogger Macy Sorrelle.
