On The Ellen Degeneres Show airing December 1st, Sam Smith discussed his decision to come out of the closet during an important time of his career – just before the release of his first studio album!
Although Sam had come out at a young age, in terms of coming out publicly, he told Ellen Degeneres, “I kind of just felt like I needed to mention it before I released the record so people knew what it was about.”
Sam told Ellen, “It didn’t feel like a coming out. I came out when I was like 4 years old. My mom said she knew when I was like three. So I didn’t have to actually properly come out.”
