Ed Sheeran has stated that when he was growing up he thought he was gay because he had “a big feminine side”.

The singer-songwriter, 30, said his interests, which he believes are “feminine”, made him question his sexuality as a child.

“I have a certain feminine side, to the point that, when I was a child, I almost thought I was gay,” said the British artist.

“I definitely have a big feminine side. I love musical theater, I love pop music, I love Britney Spears. My masculine side probably stops at drinking beer and watching football. I’m not an extremely masculine person. I’m not a car guy. I like a nice car, but I’m not a car guy,” the singer continued.

We remind you that the artist is married to Cherry Seaborn and the couple has a 15-month-old daughter, Lyra.

The singer released his fourth studio album “Equals” last week.

Sheeran also revealed some time ago that he and Elton John recorded a Christmas song together. /Telegraph/
