Naomi Campbell: "Without gay men, I wouldn't be here today"
Quote:
She's carved out a dominant niche in the modelling industry.
Yet Naomi Campbell happily shared the spotlight as she graced the cover of Britain's Attitude magazine with her Empire co-star, Jussie Smollett.
Drawing inspiration from the hunky actor's limitless talent- regardless of his sexuality- Naomi enthused: 'I’ve always said without gay men, I wouldn’t be where I am today.'
Draping her arm around the 33-year-old actor signalling their tight bond, she continued: 'I have been surrounded by gay men my entire life, and because I have grown up working in the creative and fashion industries, many of them have become like family to me.'
Jussie's part (He's pictured with Naomi in the article):
Quote:
'I get tired of the idea of someone telling me what my truth is. I’ve said from the beginning of my journey: I do not hide who I am. I love who I love.
'No one is going to tell me that somehow that is going to be my disability. I am told so many times that I should not walk truly in my blackness, that I should not walk truly in my sexuality, I should not walk truly in who I am. I say thanks but no thanks, f*** you and goodbye.'
He finished with thanking his true self for sky-rocketing his career: 'I honestly think that me being myself has actually helped my career move forward.'
What a Queen
