Ian Thorpe:"I'm relieved and pleased"
1st Jun, 2015
In a rare TV appearance since he came out as gay last July, Aussie Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe has opened up a little to interviewer Julia Zemiro about why he came out and whether it’s changed his life.
Thorpe tells Zemiro in an interview to be broadcast on Wednesday that he gave the interview with Sir Michael Parkinson last year to come out as gay and also to explain why he took so long to come out.
“Part of me felt that you shouldn’t have to [come out],” he now explains.
“I was just something that I’d never felt was appropriate before then, and it was something I’d never been comfortable talking about with anyone, let alone the world.”
Thorpe filmed the interview with Parkinson around this time last year, then waited a nervous couple of weeks before it was broadcast. “I was really pleased when it happened,” he says, “and [since then] life’s been good.
“For me the test is what people say to you in the supermarket… what they say is what most people think. When I came home to Australia, people were tremendously supportive. It was never a concern. I knew people would be supportive. So in returning home, I was relieved and pleased that that was the response.”
