Disney star Joshua Bassett has opened up about how “liberating” it was to publicly address his sexuality - and why he hasn’t looked back since.
In May, the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series favourite was caught in a storm of speculation when a video in which he called Harry Styles “hot” – before adding “I guess this is my coming-out video” – went viral.
Endless chatter about who he may or may not be attracted to led Joshua, 20, to release a statement and this was shortly followed by an interview, where he proudly proclaimed that he is “happy to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community, because they embrace all.”
