David Walliams, the well-known comedian and former judge on Britain's Got Talent, recently opened up about his identity and sexuality in a candid confession. He admitted that he "probably" identifies as non-binary, a term used to describe someone who does not identify as solely a man or a woman. This has been a topic of debate for David for quite some time, as he has previously shared that he had "gay experiences" while growing up.
In a recent interview on the Australian podcast "Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps," the 53-year-old best-selling children's author reflected on how he may have identified differently if he had the language and understanding of sexuality and gender that is available now when he was younger.
David explained that someone who is non-binary cannot be defined within the traditional gender binary of male and female. He also noted that in recent years, many other celebrities, such as Sam Smith, Ruby Rose, and Demi Lovato, have also discussed being non-binary.
During the interview, David also looked back on his teenage years and recalled how he used to go out to gay clubs with his girlfriend, wearing skirts and dancing for hours. He finds it interesting how much things have changed since then, especially since he wrote a book called "The Boy in the Dress" 15 years ago, which was considered daring at the time.
The Little Britain star has always been drawn to celebrating differences, and he finds change and evolution fascinating. He also reflected on where he would position himself now if he were 19 or 20 years old. Having attended Bristol University and studied drama, he believes that drama students are the most interested and drawn to exploring different areas of gender and sexuality.
Moving on to discuss his feelings about gender and sexuality, David was asked about his own sexuality and his label as "Britain's most famous bi-curious comedian." He admitted to having "fooled around with guys" and feeling comfortable with that label. He also joked that his life would have been easier if he were just gay because he is drawn to gay culture.
David also discussed queer culture and namedropped his longtime friend and collaborator, Matt Lucas, who is gay. He noted that it's interesting how Matt is into both football and musicals, and he believes he is "camper" than his friend. He concluded that he believes most people are somewhere on the spectrum of gender and sexuality, and men tend to be more "wound up" about it than women.
David, who was a judge on Britain's Got Talent for a decade before being axed in 2022, shares an 11-year-old son with his ex-wife, model Lara Stone. They were married in 2010 but divorced in 2015. Since then, David has kept his romantic life private, although he has been linked to various women in the past.
Lara once opened up about the difficulties of being in a high-profile relationship, recalling a "terrifying" experience where she was followed and photographed by paparazzi. David has since become much more private about his love life.
