I didn’t come out,”. Additionally, while addressing the caption of the photo, which read, "I'm a liar", he can be heard saying that, "An actor is a kind of liar. That’s why I wrote that.

As I said, I’m a big supporter of the LGBT community. There’s a lot of young guys and young girls…they would love to come out but they don’t do it because of their families. You know, happiness is priceless, guys.”. The pool selfie that sparked the aforementioned rumours can be found below.
