Tom Daley Olympic Diver Talks about Boyfriend
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Hi guys. So most of you are probably wondering why I'm doing this video.
After coming out this week and letting the world know he is in a relationship with a
man, Tom Daley has spoken about that decision, calling it "terrifying".
Already a hero for his Olympic diving success, the 19-year-old received a rapturous reception
as he appeared on the Jonathan Ross show. He told the host "it felt like it was my dirty
little secret", and he couldn't be who he wanted to be. He added that he felt alone
and trapped.
Come spring this year, my life changed.
Daley broke the news in a video posted online. The story exploded, but the majority of opinion
and response was positive and supportive.
Referring in the TV interview to his boyfriend - Oscar winning screenwriter Dustin Lance
Black - Daley said it was "love at first sight", and that he has "never felt anything like
it". The pair are set to be reunited in February when Tom heads to Houston to train for the
UK diving championships.
