Is irving gay

The immediate strength of Burt and Irving's bond has given rise to the theory that the pair are actually a couple on the outside in Severance, particularly given the inexplicable sorrow Irving feels at Burt's retirement party.

The show does have on-screen queerness thanks to the romance between Burt (Christopher Walken) and Irving (John Turturro) in its first season — and the seeds of flirtation between Irving and Dylan (Zach Cherry) in the currently airing second season — but it’s even queerer behind the scenes, and fans are celebrating the series’ LGBTQ+ stars.

As a dude who likes dudes, I’m still not usually invested in a gay TV romance even when the actors themselves are gay. But I am rooting so hard for Burt and Irving. Turturro and Walken are coveted as fuck.

While the sexual identity of Outside Irving is currently unknown, Inside Irving's feelings for Burt can be felt almost instantaneously, with how they bond over their passion for art and how Irving, a character established to be a stickler for Lumon's rules, sets these morals aside to meet Burt in secret and acknowledge his feelings for him as.
