David Walliams has opened up on his sexuality and how he thinks he might identify in a candid interview. The star has had people assuming that he is gay for years – despite being married to a woman.
The 57-year-old former judge admitted he would “probably” have his gender preference as non-binary if he were younger today and also added that his life “may have been easier” if he were gay.
Speaking on the Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps podcast, the comedian shared how he would probably identify if he were a university student today. He said: “I think in a way I’d probably say I’m non-binary, I think. Probably. I don’t know exactly.”
David added that back in his own university days, when he , he and his then-girlfriend were frequent visitors to gay clubs. He told the podcast: “I used to go out to gay clubs and dance for like six hours and I’d be wearing a skirt and stuff like that.”
The TV star added: “Sometimes I think my life would’ve been easier if I were just gay. I’m really drawn to gay things. I love gay culture.”

Comparing himself to Little Britain co-star, , Walliams said: “It’s funny because Matt Lucas is gay, and he’s into football and musicals too… but yeah, I’d say I’m probably more camp than him.”
He suggested sexuality exists on a spectrum, adding: “I think probably most – not everybody – but a lot of people probably are somewhere on the kind of spectrum, aren’t they?”
David shared a bit about his own sexuality, admitting that he could be “bi-curious”.
When asked about his past description as “Britain’s most famous bi-curious comedian” and whether he had experimented with men, Walliams responded: “Yeah, I’d say so.”
