Luke Evans, known for his roles in action-packed films, has released a new memoir called “Boy From the Valleys” that delves into his journey of self-acceptance away from his strict religious upbringing. The book offers an intimate look at Evans’ life, from growing up in South Wales as a closeted child of devout Jehovah’s Witness parents to becoming an openly gay Hollywood actor.
In the memoir, Evans opens up about his struggles with self-hatred due to his upbringing, as well as the highs and lows of his first relationships and experiences as a gay man. Despite facing emotional turmoil and isolation after leaving the church, he found solace in finding his own tribe of queer people in London.
Evans reflects on the challenges he faced in reconciling his sexuality with his relationship with his parents, who initially severed ties with him when he left the church. Over time, his parents have come to accept him for who he is, allowing him to live his life to the fullest without feeling the need to attach himself to any religion.
Through his memoir, Evans aims to own his story, embracing both the dark and light moments that have shaped his journey. He hopes to inspire others to accept themselves fully and live authentically, despite any obstacles they may face.
