Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell has slammed “absurd” reports he is homosexual.
Bell‘s sexuality was called into question when he moved into Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry‘s home as a teenager and kissed the filmmaker after winning a Best Actor BAFTA award for the 2000 movie.
But the English actor, 19, says, “Me, gay? That’s absurd.
“People can think what they want. But I do find all these rumors about whether I’m gay weird. And on a personal level, it’s a bit odd to be talking about it.
“He’s a friend and mentor. He got me where I am today. I don’t think our relationship’s weird and I wasn’t expecting to get so much attention from it.
“He’s a great person to learn from.”
Daldry wed dancer Lucy Sexton in October 2001 and they have a two-year-old daughter, Annabel Clare.
