Who is David Dawson dating?
The 38-year-old has not been linked to any partners so far, strongly suggesting that he is single. Who's Dated Who adheres to the fact that he is 'possibly single'. He keeps his personal life private and doesn't have any social media accounts, and lives under the radar which is why the information on his love life is so very scant.
This has created some confusion among his fans about his sexuality that he is probably gay which Married Wiki describes as a classic Hollywood misconception. The actor has also refrained from commenting about his sexuality or dropping any hints that he is gay. He might well just be focusing on his career, holding out on relationships.
Dawson plays the role of King Alfred from BBC One's hit drama series 'The Last Kingdom'. Fans enjoyed the relationship that the King has with Uhtred Ragnarsson (played by Alexander Dreymon), and ship the two. There is Archive of Our Own stories and Tumblr posts celebrating the relationship, which is one of mutual admiration and respect and not so much of a homosexual romance.
Dawson is now set to play the role of Patrick, the lover of Harry Styles' character in 'My Policeman', a queer love-triangle drama, which also stars Emma Corrin, who played Princess Diana in ‘The Crown’.
Set in the late 1990s in Brighton, England, the story starts with the arrival of Patrick, an elderly invalid and museum curator at the home of heterosexual married couple Tom (Styles), a handsome policeman, and Marion (Corrin), a schoolteacher. The incident results in a passionate reigniting of events from a relationship between Tom and Patrick from 40 years ago, during a time when homosexuality was illegal. The film is set to employ a flashback structure to tell the story, according to Collider.
