Are alberto and luca gay

Though "Luca" director Enrico Casarosa has always said while doing press that the story is based on his straight relationship with his best friend growing up in Italy, in a recent interview with The Wrap he did admit that for a moment while developing the story they wondered if Luca and Alberto should be more than just friends.

The things we did talk a lot about is what is the metaphor here for being a sea monster, for being different. Casarosa said at the end of the day he leaned into how he and his friend were growing up to shape the two characters' dynamic. Last June, former Insider reporter Jacob Sarkisian wrote about his disappointment that "Luca" didn't commit to being a queer movie.

Casarosa said he and Pixar were caught off guard by the queer take on the story because they were so focused on the characters being in a "pre-puberty" stage of their lives. But he is overjoyed that his story is going beyond that and is being viewed as "a movie about being open to any difference.
