UK Olympic diver Tom Daley – “I’m not gay”
UK Olympic diver and heart-throb Tom Daley wants you to know he’s not gay – but doesn’t mind if you think he is:
“I think it’s funny when people say I’m gay… I laugh it off.
“I’m not. But even if I was, I wouldn’t be ashamed. It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest what people thought. “
“But I can understand why I have a massive gay following – I spend most of my life half naked in trunks on a diving board showing off my bare chest. I often joke I wear more to bed than I do to work.
“But I’m cool with my gay following. It’s great to have gay fans even though my friends gently take the mick. I just think about my diving.
“If people think I am gay or that I don’t focus on my diving enough and go out too much, there is always going to be an opinion – and if I worry about that too much, then my diving goes downhill.”
