Australian pop singer Troye Sivan, whose YouTube videos and music have inspired a generation of young LGBTQ+ people, wants his first major film role to combat ignorance around HIV/AIDS.
In “Three Months”, Sivan plays 17-year-old Caleb, who is exposed to HIV after a one-night stand on the eve of his high school graduation.
Set in 2011, when a positive diagnosis was no longer a death sentence but fear and ignorance remained rife, the film explores the lingering stigma faced by people living with HIV. “I would love it if this movie plays a part in getting rid of the stigma around HIV and educates people on the fact that with access to healthcare, this is not a death sentence at all anymore.”
Sivan released his debut album “Blue Neighbourhood” in 2015 with his second, “Bloom”, in 2018 peaking at No. 4 on the U.S. album chart. He is one of the most streamed artists of all time on Spotify with more than 5 billion total streams.But “Three Months” – to be released on Feb. 23 on the Paramount+ streaming platform – marks his first major lead role.
