Hold onto your hearts, folks, because Miles Heizer and Angus O’Brien are back in the spotlight, and this time they’re flaunting their abs! The Netflix stars, who graced our screens in the now-canceled queer military drama Boots, have reunited for a sizzling shirtless gym photo that’s got fans absolutely losing it. Seriously, can we get a moment to appreciate those sculpted bodies?
Four months after the unfortunate cancellation of Boots, which featured Heizer as the closeted lead Cameron Cope and O’Brien as the chaotic Thaddeus Beau Stirling Hicks, the two actors decided to give us a little eye candy. Sharing their gym escapade on Instagram, O’Brien couldn’t help but express his affection for Heizer, whom he previously dubbed his “soulmate.”
In the photo, both stars are rocking the shirtless look, and let’s just say, it’s a double thirst trap that sent fans into a frenzy. One fan exclaimed, “I still don’t get how dude’s abs are so sculpted and bulging,” while another quipped, “And this didn’t get a second season for what reason?” Can we get a collective sigh for the loss of such talent?
O’Brien has been vocal about the bond he formed with Heizer during their time on set. In an interview with Out, he shared, “That’s my best friend in the entire world. I’ve had cast friends before, and I love those kinds of relationships. But if there was anything surprising from the experience of shooting Boots: It was unexpected to meet someone that I do feel like is a complete soulmate of mine.” With sentiments like that, it’s no wonder fans are rooting for a reunion!
But alas, the joy of their reunion is tinged with the bitter taste of Boots being axed after just one season. Netflix faced backlash for the cancellation, and CEO Ted Sarandos had to step in to clarify that the decision wasn’t due to any external pressures, including The Pentagon’s opinions. “These are all business decisions based on audience relative to the cost of the show,” he explained. “Do the people who push play watch it ‘til the end? Do they give it a couple thumbs up? Does it keep growing? All those things. That decision is made every day.”
So while we may not be getting a second season of Boots, we can at least enjoy the eye candy that is Miles Heizer and Angus O’Brien. Here’s hoping they keep the gym selfies coming, because we’re not ready to say goodbye to this dynamic duo just yet!
