Love life and girlfriend

Max is quite secretive when it comes to his love life, and hasn’t spoken of any girls (or boys) whom he has perhaps been with.

This is mostly why there are rumors circulating the internet concerning both his sexual orientation, and current relationship status.

Some of his fans believe him to be gay, because Max hasn’t often been seen spending time with girls, and hasn’t apparently dated any. A fan has noted that Max can often be seen in the company of boys, and that one of these could perhaps be his boyfriend, however, this hasn’t been confirmed, nor has Max commented on this.

There are also those who think that he’s today in a relationship with a non-celebrity girl, but prefers to keep her away from the media’s attention. This hasn’t been confirmed either.

As of June 2021, Max seems to be single.

Hobbies and other interests

Max is highly religious, and goes to church at least once a week.

He’s interested in music and can play the drums, while he’s hoping that he’ll eventually become the drummer of a popular band.

Max loves to travel, and has been to various US states for both work and pleasure. He likes to go on road trips with his family.

He’s a dog-lover, and his pet dog can be seen featured in many of his Instagram pictures.

Max is physically active, and has a couple of training sessions at the gym each week, thus his muscular body.

He has his own favorite actors and actresses, some of whom are Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix and Natalie Portman, with a couple of his favorite movies being “Gladiator”, “The Joker” and “V for Vendetta”.
