'Label Me Gay,' Says Hunky Aussie Harry Jowsey
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Harry Jowsey claim to fame was to be the breakout star of Netflix's reality series "Too Hot To Handle" in the summer of 2020. On the show's first season, the hunkie Aussie joined 13 other contestants in living in close quarters for a month without sex. He was amongst the winners that split the $100,000 grand prize; and quickly found a large social media following.
Besides his boy-next-door looks, the towering Jowsey (at 6'5") became an overnight sensation when he "dubbed the term 'Boyfriend Dick' when explaining his own peen. 'It's not too big, it's not too small. Just perfect. Looks pretty,'" wrote Cosmopolitan.
Cosmo added: "A boyfriend dick is not a cucumber, it's not a banana, it's not a hammer-and it's certainly not Jon Hamm-esque. It's, like, what I'd imagine to be hiding under Timotheé Chalamet's jeans, I think? (I say in the most non-pervy way possible). And boy, oh boy, did he start a revolution (...and apparently also a T-shirt line, which we are in no way affiliated with)."
In the five years since, Jowsey has appeared on other reality competition shows (MTV's "Match Me If You Can," "The Amazing Race Australia 7," "Dancing with the Stars," and "Perfect Match"); has been embroiled in controversies, such as hooking up with trans You Tube star Nikki Dragon and making a gay slur against makeup guru James Charles, for which he apologized. And one time while standing by the side of the road, his good looks distracted a driver who sideswiped another vehicle.
Those good looks have helped him on social media with some 4.4M followers on Instagram. He joined OnlyFans in February, 2022 and by September claimed to have made $3M from the platform. The following year he said he was quitting the site (and romance in general) to concentrate on acting. Later in 2023, he opened up about having mental health issues, revealing he used to cut himself while in high school.
Jowsey's numerous thirst-traps have endeared him to a queer following, but his use of them also begged the question that he was queer baiting. In interviews in the past, he boasted about having slept with nearly 200 women, leaving men out of the equation entirely. But this week Jowsey went public that he's in a same sex relationship, according to the Daily Mail.

Harry's new beau, Carter Gregory, took to TikTok to announce the relationship with a choreographed dance to singer Charlie XCX. Carter confirmed their relationship by calling Harry his 'BF' in the comments, adds the Daily Mail. "Making sure the bf knows its a brat summer," he wrote. Gregory is currently the Vice President of A&R for Capitol Records as well as boasting 342,000 followers on TikTok.

The two turned more serious in another TikTok for Jowsey's "Boyfriend Material" series in which they discussed Harry's same sex attractions.
"For anyone out there, my wish is to be able to just be comfortable and be themselves. None of this should matter...," began Gregory.
"I also think there's nothing to be ashamed of," interrupted Jowsey.
Gregory continued: "I am so proud of you for admitting that because I also think for someone like you who does lean more straight, for the most part, I think it's important for other straight men to see that like you're like. 'hey I had a queer experience and I'm confident about that and I have nothing to feel shameful about. I have nothing to hide.' Like you being open and vulnerable like that, I think is so powerful. Society has put that pressure on us, where it's like if you if you have an experience like that then immediately, you'll be labeled gay. And it's like that doesn't have to be that way.
To which the smiling Jowsey said: "Label me gay. I don't give a shit, yeah."
"You are!" emphasized Gregory.
"Hell yeah," added Jowsey.
