Who is Keegan Allen? – Biography (Age and background)
Keegan Phillip Allen was born on July 22, 1987, in California, to Jewish parents Phillip R. Allen and Joan Snyder Allen. Both of his parents had careers in the entertainment industry that fundamentally influenced Keegan. Her father was a stage, film and television actor.

Sadly, Keegan’s father passed away on March 1, 2012.
On the other hand, Keegan’s mother was an expression painter. He revealed to About.com that in his typical childhood he played guitar or piano while his parents painted. Although both of his parents were artists, Keegan said he never felt pressured to follow in their footsteps and that had he chosen a career in carpentry, his parents would always have given him their full support.
Keegan’s first love was and remains photography which slowly built up her interest in acting. At age 13, he got his first paid job as a filmmaker in an Animal Plant documentary. The same year, he appeared in the short film Petites urgences.
Despite these first two experiences as an actor, Keegan remains more attracted to photography and cinematography and is increasingly interested in video production. After high school, he enrolled in the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2009.
However, Keegan found himself back on screens in 2010, when he played the lead role of Toby Cavanaugh in Pretty Little Liars. He reprized his role throughout the show’s seven seasons, which allowed him to skyrocket his celebrity status.

Keegan has also booked roles in films like Palo Alto, The Sound and the Fury, King Cobra, in a Dubious Battle and Bukowski

Is he gay?
No, Keegan Allen is not gay. However, he intentionally sparked gay rumors in 2014 when James Franco took to his social media pages to post photos of himself in bed with Keegan. However, the photo was far from what it looked like.
Keegan was on the set of the Francoist film Palo Alto when he visited his dressing room to learn how to take a good selfie in bed, Franco decided he would teach him by experimenting. He later deliberately posted the photos on social media with the sole purpose of blowing them up.. The Twitter post quickly garnered over 120,000 likes.
