Tom Daley poses for cover of new ‘Attitude’
By Will Stroude
Tom Daley has posed for the cover of the latest issue of Attitude.
In his first ever gay press interview, the 20-year-old Olympic diver talks about how he balances his rigorous training schedule with his relationship with American screenwriter Dustin Lance Black – and also discusses coming out in a YouTube video last December.
“If the video helped anyone going through something similar, then that’s great,” Daley says. “I filmed that video because I wanted to tell people in my own words.”
After saying that “everyone should have the right to marry the person they love”, the London 2012 bronze medallist reveals that he sees himself getting married one day. “Family is something that has always been really important to me and yes, at some point I would love to marry and have kids,” he says.
Last night (16 July), it was revealed that Tom has topped the Attitude HOT 100 list voted for by readers for the second consecutive year – having also won the inaugural Attitude HOT 100 poll last year. Check out the full top ten here.
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who voted for me in Attitude’s HOT 100 – it means the world,” said Tom following the announcement at Attitude’s exclusive HOT 100 party in central London.
This month’s issue of Attitude also includes interviews with the cast of hit US drama Orange is the New Black, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson and our new fitness expert Dan Osborne – as well as our special HOT 100 supplement.
