In an interview in Stellar Magazine, Sheridan has come out as "not straight". He has relationships with both men and women but doesn't want to label himself.
Actor Hugh Sheridan Says He Likes Men, Women, but Not Labels [Out]
Australian hunk Hugh Sheridan revealed he has slept with both men and women, but eschews labeling himself or his sexuality. The star of Packed to the Rafters made the revelations in an essay he penned for Stellar Magazine. He wrote openly of his personal life, and said he was opening up now because he felt a responsibility to share his experiences in hopes it will help LGBTQ+ youth coming to terms with their own sexuality.
In many ways, I wish I didnt have to write this, but I feel a responsibility to others who may come after me, Sheridan wrote. By sharing my story now, and becoming more transparent, maybe I can help to give others who are private a break. We might live and let them live as they wish. I believe labels are for clothes, not for people.
The 35-year-old actor from Adelaide revealed he was bullied as a young teen for being gay, even though he was sexually attracted to the opposite sex at the time. It wasnt until he escaped to Sydney to attend the National Institute for Dramatic Arts, that he found himself falling for another man.
I finally met a guy who I connected with emotionally, mentally and physically, he wrote, saying he was over the moon and told everyone about the relationship because he realized he could finally be what people always wanted me to be.
