Colton Underwood reflects on “homoerotic” locker room experiences
Colton Underwood has gone into detail about coming to terms with his sexuality, from “homoerotic” experiences in the locker room to virgin status on The Bachelor.
The television personalityrecently appeared on Alexandra Cooper’s hit podcast Call Her Daddy, where he shared further details about his coming out journey.
Underwood told the host that he “knew” he was “different” from the age of six: “I wasn’t like the other kids. I wasn’t like the other boys in my class. “And I couldn’t really fully process it until high school, to understand that, ‘Hey, I’m attracted to men.'” He continued to explain that, due to attending a Catholic school, he was taught heteronormative ideals such as “boys were supposed to be into girls, and girls were supposed to be into boys”.
Before starring in The Bachelor, Underwood was a professional football player for Illinois State, before being signed by San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent.
