Pride month is starting off with a fucking bang! It’s only been June for a couple of days and celebrities like Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, and Larry Saperstein have already started coming out of the closet.
One more celeb that may or may not be stepping out into the public eye with their queer lifestyle is Italian actor and singer Michele Morrone. The muscle hunk just started up some serious coming out rumors this week after sharing a photo of him being embraced by his shirtless co-star Simone Susinna.
“I’m a liar,” reads the photo’s caption on Instagram.

Many took the timing and content of this photo to mean that Michele was coming out of the closet. The photo’s comments ranged from people who were just simply confused to women claiming defeat that they lost another attractive man to the gays! “We lost another one, ladies,” reads one comment.
So this photo is cute and all and the caption is definitely mysterious. But what does it actually mean? Did Michele Morrone actually come out by posting this shirtless, intimate pic?
After the photo got some well-deserved attention and speculation about his sexuality started spreading around the internet, Michele took to his Instagram story to clarify the situation and confirm that he’s actually straight.
Michele Morrone addresses rumors that he came out as gay with photo featuring '365 Days' co-star Simone Susinna:
"I’m a big supporter of the LGBT community. There’s a lot of young guys and young girls…they would love to come out but they don’t do it because of their families." pic.twitter.com/iMd4M6caFQ

“I woke up with my team calling me and saying, ‘Hey, there’s a lot of articles in the media saying that you came out,’ because of the picture I took with Simone,” Michele said in a shirtless Instagram story video. “Guys, it was just a picture. Nothing more and by the way, I’m an extremely, very big supporter of the LGBT community, but we are just talking about a normal picture.”
Well… Another one bites the dust. Our dreams? They’re crushed. It’s all fine though. We’re okay with Michele being straight as long as he keeps pushing out the nude scenes (see above) that he’s so famous for!

So nobody cares if Simone Susinna is gay or not?
She protesters too much! Who fucking cares! Did he show his dick …no so who the fuck cares?
Don’t really care if he’s gay or straight, but when you put out a picture like this, with that caption, at the beginning of Pride month, looking the way they do, there’s no reason to ask “why did people see it that way?” Just a picture? Maybe so, but it got all eyes on him and got people talking, and there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Um. Hasn’t Sophie Tucker been dead for years?
Not only has she come out, she damn left.
It’s Sophie Turner, my dear, not Tucker.
How boring!!! Have fun with it!!! My friends and I find real bitchy, super closeted guys and then, “out” them to their friends and co-workers during pride month. Take pictures of them with other guy’s in compromising positions, print them out and hand them out to their friends!
This is exactly why Gays do not get any respect. Be it a Hollywood insider or an athlete, why can’t people stop speculating? What ever happened to “live and let live”? If a person is gay and decides to come out, that person should be able to come out on his/her own terms. Same as a heterosexual person. If one is straight and has gay friends, respect that the person is secure enough with it.
