Speaking to British Vogue, Jonathan described his experience of coming to terms with his sexuality as “a gradual realization.”
“I think other people understood my sexuality before I was even aware of it,” he said.
The actor noted that he even dated a girl in his 20s.
“It’s interesting with the binary,” he said, “where you’re perceived to be either this or that. That’s how I saw it at the time, but there are so many nuances to it. My experience of that relationship was not that I was in the shadows. She remains one of my best friends.”
In his youth, he did bring up his sexuality during a sleepover with some friends.
“‘Guys, guys, who else thinks they’re gay? Do you? I do. I do,’” he recalled asking. “It was a conversation I really, really wanted to have, to see if everyone else was on the same page.”
How did they respond? “Everyone went quiet.”
Jonathan said that he was also called out by a teacher, who said that he was “so busy being a fairy” that he couldn’t understand his class work.
He opted out of talking about his current relationship status. However, he described himself as “a confident hand-holder in relationships.”
Another topic that he was willing to discuss was having children.
“Yes, it’s such a privilege for a man,” he told the outlet. “But I can’t bring children into my lifestyle now.”
Explaining that he’s too busy, Jonathan said, “I want to make sure I’m going to be present. I’m reading books on adoption. I might coparent with a woman, but I’m thinking it will be with a man.”
