This Soccer Star Loves His Gay Gossip

Hot hunky footballing star and now some time and male model Freddie Ljungberg has said he is “proud” of rumours surrounding his sexuality. Yep, the hunky star said in a recent interview with The New York Times Magazine “There’s been a gay rumor for a long time, but I don’t mind at all. I am proud of that.”

He added that rumors about his sexual orientation are a “compliment” to him, saying that gay people have “amazing style.” The 33 year old footie legend used to play here in England for Arsenal but now play in American for a Seattle based team.

He recently told gay mag Out magazine that he felt “honored” that Calvin Klein recruited him to be the face of its underwear line. “Mostly, I was honored to be asked by Calvin Klein. I was worried about how being on a billboard in Times Square for several months would affect my image. But the impact has been overwhelmingly positive” Having seen pictures of him, it’s not surprising the reaction is positive.

He’s been down to my home time of Brighton a fair few times, and sometimes stays a a boutique hotel on the seafront in Brighton’s trendy gay area of Kemp town.

“The most unusual response” he says, in relation to his being the face and ‘packet’ of Calvin’s undercrackers “is probably that people are always asking me to sign their underwear for them.”

I wonder if they are wearing them at the time?  I’m sure I’d think of something else for him to get his hands on and sign his name upon if I bump in to him again when he’s next in Brighton!

Jason’s daily blog The Seafront Diaries,   it’s a fast ride in a slow taxi into the mind of a 40 year old kooky gay guy coming to terms with getting older, getting a paunch,  thinning hair and a passion for cheesecake!   Fun, laughter and maybe the odd splash of red wine!
