Horrible little man, long time coming. Can't wait for Matt Lucas to throw him under the bus as they hate each other.
I mean. Maybe that's just how he is?
I can't imagine anyone who grew up in the 80's being like "oh yeah, let me act gay so people think I'm harmless"
In the 70s/80s being camp/gay in real life would result in horrific abuse.
But, British TV and music LOVED camp/gay people and characters. Cross dressing was almost mandatory in shows like Monty Python. Boy George was a massive star, so much so that he was huge in America. John Inman was insanely popular. Frankie Howerd was beloved. Kenny Everett had immense popularity.
Walliams might not be gay and he might genuinely be camp. But he's intelligent enough to know that acting gay wasn't ever going to be a handicap to success on TV.
