Robbie Williams has opened up about his sexuality in a new interview, saying he once though he might be gay and gets “big male crushes”, but is not interested in them sexually.
Hands up if you’ve ever had a crush on Robbie Williams. Those three people sitting across from you on the tube who just put their hands up definitely did, along with the rest of the world.
Robbie Williams has been a sex symbol for well over two decades now. The 42-year-old burst into our hearts in 1990 with his boy band, Take That and ever since then we’ve been fantasising about all the naughty things we’d do to him.
Robbie Williams: ‘I am 49% gay because I love musical theatre’, but not sex with men.
In a new interview with Attitude magazine, Williams revealed that he once thought he was gay.
“I was raised in a society where gay was the thing you levelled at somebody you wanted to hurt the most. So then being exposed to this world that I loved being a part of… I took my first ecstasy at a gay club… had the most incredible time,” Williams said.
“I thought: ‘Why have I lived like that when I could live like this forever?’ And I tried doing that, which led me to AA,” Williams told Attitude magazine.

“But also because of the homophobia that there is out there, I was sort of left as a 21 year old going: ‘Actually, I don’t hate the gay… so does that mean that I’m gay, too? So I was 21 or 22 and I was like: ‘Oh, that must mean that I’m somewhat gay, in some sort of way’”.
Williams recently made history as the biggest British artist in UK chart history after dropping his 12th number one album recently.
“The truth is with me and gay is that I can’t get round the cock thing,” he added. “You know I have crushes. Big male crushes. A lot. I crush a lot. But I just can’t do the cock. I don’t enjoy looking at mine that much. So I can’t get round that bit.”
“And if I could I would have because I like sex. I would have liked being able to have it on tap.”
