Actor Lukas Gage, best known for his roles in "The White Lotus" and "Euphoria," is set to release a memoir titled I Wrote This for Attention. The book, scheduled for publication this fall by Simon & Schuster, delves into the complexities of Gage's life, from his tumultuous upbringing in San Diego to his rise to stardom. The memoir offers an unfiltered look at his experiences with family, fame, addiction, and his lifelong struggle with seeking attention. Gage shares personal anecdotes that reveal both his vulnerabilities and his resilience, making the book a compelling read for fans and newcomers alike.

The inspiration for the memoir came during a poignant moment in Gage's life. While sitting beside his ailing grandmother, he found himself scrolling through social media, where he encountered comments labeling him as attention-seeking. Reflecting on his past actions—from setting his room on fire as a child to engaging in risky behavior—Gage realized there was truth to these accusations. This moment sparked a deeper introspection, leading him to explore the roots of his need for recognition. In the book, Gage candidly discusses his childhood in a fractured family, the absence of his father, and how these factors shaped his desire for validation.

Gage’s journey toward stardom is another focal point of the memoir. He recounts the challenges he faced along the way, including struggles with addiction and navigating the pressures of Hollywood. Despite these obstacles, Gage’s commitment to being the center of attention remained unwavering. The book also touches on his experiences with relationships and his efforts to find balance between public and private life. Through raw and honest storytelling, Gage invites readers into his world, offering a glimpse into the mind of someone who has always craved the spotlight but feared it simultaneously.

In addition to his acting career, Gage has appeared in various television shows and films, including "You," "Fargo," "Road House," and "Smile 2." His upcoming projects include "Down Low," where he co-stars alongside Zachary Quinto and Simon Rex. Gage’s memoir promises to be a revealing and thought-provoking exploration of self-discovery and healing. With praise from notable figures like Riley Keough and Colleen Hoover, I Wrote This for Attention is poised to resonate with audiences who appreciate authentic narratives and heartfelt reflections.

Ultimately, I Wrote This for Attention serves as a testament to Gage’s courage in confronting his past and embracing his true self. By sharing his story, he hopes to inspire others who may be grappling with similar issues. The memoir not only highlights the highs and lows of fame but also emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and growth. Available for preorder now, the book will be released on October 14, offering readers a unique and intimate look into Lukas Gage’s life.
