Sam Smith has never been very vocal about his sexuality and gender identity, but he recently opened up to the Sunday Times about gender identity and his love for dressing in women's clothing.

“People don’t know this, but when I was 17, I remember becoming obsessed with Boy George and Marilyn. There was one moment in my life when I didn’t own a piece of male clothing, really," Smith revealed. “I would wear full make up every day at school-– eyelashes, leggings with Dr. Martens and huge fur coats, for two and a half years.”

When asked if he considers himself a cisgender male (meaning he associates with the sex he was assigned at birth), he replied with, "No." and showed two Venus symbols on his fingers. "I don't know what the title would be, but I feel just as much woman as I am man," he explained, elaborating on his love for dressing in heels (“I love a heel. I’ve got loads of heels at home.”)
