Sam Smith: “If someone called me fat that affects me way more than someone calling me faggot”

Two years ago, Sam Smith was serving beers and cleaning toilets at a British pub.

Four Grammys and a huge selling debut album later, Smith is one of the most famous openly gay men in the world.

But he still has his struggles.

In this new 60 Minutes Australia interview, Sam shares how much his weight struggles affect him.

“If someone called me fat that affects me way more than someone calling me faggot. I think just because I’ve accepted that. If someone calls me a faggot, it’s like, I am gay and I’m proud to be gay so there are no issues. If someone calls you fat it’s like, that’s something I want to change. That’s something I can change so that affects me more….From a young age food has controlled me….when I felt lonely I would eat.”
