7 Times Celebrity Men Had to Say They Weren’t Gay – Out Magazine

When the Rocketman star shared a photo of his male friend with the caption “Cutie. My boy <3” to Instagram in October of 2018, many fans thought that the Robin Hood and Kingsman actor had come out as queer. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, and in an interview the following month with the Radio Times, he cleared up rumors about his sexuality, telling people he isn’t gay.

“One of the lads was at my London flat and I Instagrammed a picture of him and said, ‘Look at this cutie,’ and a million outlets reported I was coming out as gay,” he said. “I’m not gay but two of my mates came out when I was 15 and it was a joy to support them because, as a group, we are all secure in who we are.”

“I’m certainly not going to stop calling my mates cuties and gorgeous because they are cuties and they are gorgeous.”
