LONDON, Sept 30: Actor David Walliams has revealed in his autobiography ‘Camp David’ that he has had gay experiences as a child.
Walliams, 41, who is now married to model Lara Stone, said he was confused about his sexuality as a child, reported Sun online.
“I guess I am just very honest about my sexuality. I had gay experiences as a child and remember being very confused about that. I think there will still be people who will want it out of me, until the day I die,” Walliams said.
“But I am glad I talked honestly about my childhood sexual awakening because I think there is plenty of other people out there who will be reading it and say, ‘That is quite normal, that happened to me. It confused me too’,” he added.
His book is no banal account of a fluffy showbiz life — it is a searingly honest account of a man, who struggled professionally but emerged on the other side with a supermodel wife on his arm.
“I have always been effeminate, and I think people confuse effeminacy with homosexuality, like they go hand-in-hand. But there are plenty of effeminate people who are straight, and plenty of butch people who are gay,” he said.
“I have always been camp; I have always been drawn to playing Wonder Woman in the school playground. I am not worried about it, it just seems other people are,” he added. (PTI)
