We missed seeing Laith Ashley as a Pit Crew member!
Model, actor, and singer Ashley first appeared as a Pit Crew member in the “Breastworld” acting challenge featured on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10.
Now, Ashley appears to be back in the Pit Crew for Drag Race season 16! While some fans had already recognized his appearances in episode 2 (“Queen Choice Awards”) and episode 4 (“RDR Live!”), Ashley himself has now confirmed those cameos on social media!
“LOL at everyone being unsure if I am [in the] Pit Crew this season,” he wrote in an Instagram story. “But yes, that’s me next to the one and only [Bruno Alcantara].”
Over the years, Ashley made waves appearing on shows like Pose and Unconventional, as well as playing Taylor Swift’s love interest in her music video for “Lavender Haze.” He’s also released original songs such as “Can’t Wait” and “Like Me.”
Season 16 has also marked the return of Jesse Pattison to the Pit Crew, along with the continuation of familiar faces like Bruno Alcantara, Calix Quan, and Asaf Goren.
More shirtless Laith Ashley on our screens? Yes, please!
RuPaul’s Drag Race season 16 airs every Friday on MTV.
