Champion swimmer Ian Thorpe explained his reasons behind coming out as gay back in 2014. The Australian revealed his sexuality during an interview with former television presenter Sir Michael Parkinson.
At the time, the athlete declared: “I've thought about this for a long time. I'm not straight. And this is only something that very recently - in the past two weeks - I've been comfortable telling the closest people around me exactly that.”
Now, during an episode of the show This Is Your Life, the Australian decided to expand on why he chose to reveal his sexuality eight years ago.
