The 22-year-old Grammy winner tells Australia's '60 Minutes' that people calling him 'fat' was more hurtful than the gay slurs.
"If
someone called me fat, that affects me way more than someone calling me
a f----t," he admits, referring to his sexuality. "I think just because
I've accepted that, if someone calls me a f----t, it's like, I am gay
and I'm proud to be gay so there's no issues there. If something calls
you fat, that's something I want to change."
Sam however blamed his weight gain on loneliness stating that: "I
genuinely think I gained about two stones [28 pounds] when I moved here
[London]. I just get loads of chicken and watched Lost every night
after work."
He jokingly added that the title
of his critically-acclaimed album, "The Lonely Hour, came from that
moment of his life. But insists food got him fat: "When I was at
school and wasn't having a great time or when music wasn't going very
well. I would eat, eat... Eating would make me feel better, when I felt
lonely I would eat."
These days, the "Stay
With Me" singer is looking better than ever. Last week, he shared that
he's only four pounds away from his weight goal.
