Harry Styles revealed he 'had his own journey figuring out his sexuality' in an honest new interview.
The As It Was singer, 28, sat down for a chat with Rolling Stone, with the star posing in fun and bright clothing for the issue.
He was joined by his girlfriend, Olivia Wilde, for the interview - who is also the director of his latest movie Don't Worry, Darling.
The singer (and actor) talked about his role as Tom, a policeman who falls for a museum curator named Patrick (played by David Dawson) in the 1950s, when it was still illegal to be in a same-sex relationship in the UK.
His character gets involved with Patrick while still in a marriage with a teacher named Marion (played by Emma Corrin).
"It’s obviously pretty unfathomable now to think, ‘Oh, you couldn’t be gay. That was illegal,'" he explained.
"I think everyone, including myself, has your own journey with figuring out sexuality and getting more comfortable with it."
He said that people sometimes say that he's only ever 'publicly been with women'. However, he doesn't 'think he's publicly been with anyone'.
Not only did the star talk about looking after his physical and mental health, he also discussed having children one day.
"Well, if I have kids at some point, I will encourage them to be themselves and be vulnerable and share," he explained.
Earlier this year, Harry opened up about once feeling 'ashamed' about his sex life and people knowing about it.
The singer - who became a pop icon after finding fame in One Direction in 2010, detailed his feelings of guilt and fears over people knowing he was sexually active - "let alone who with".
In an interview with Better Homes & Gardens, Harry said it is "bizarre" and "outdated" to publicly comment on his personal life and sexuality as he spoke about how he has grown to embrace sex.

"For a long time, it felt like the only thing that was mine was my sex life. I felt so ashamed about it, ashamed at the idea of people even knowing that I was having sex, let alone who with," he said.
"At the time, there were still the kiss-and-tell things. Working out who I could trust was stressful."
The Adore You singer said he finally got to a place in his life where he was able to question why he was feeling ashamed and develop from it.
People began to question Harry's sexuality after witnessing his refreshing sense of style and confidence during the time Fine Line was released in 2019.
He added that it's important to keep his love life to himself and will confide in only those closest to him.
