LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 01: Jessica Gunning speaks onstage at Netflix FYSEE: Baby Reindeer at Sunset Las Palmas Studios on June 01, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jerod Harris/Getty Images for Netflix)
Celebrities (Vapid Fluff)

‘Baby Reindeer’ Star Jessica Gunning Comes Out As “A Big Old Gay” and Covert ‘L Word’ Fan

“For so long I’d thought, ‘I know I’m a bigger woman’ and I thought that maybe it was to do with my size? That I felt a bit like, almost alien, or like I was tagging along.⁠ But as soon as I realised, ‘No, it’s that I’m gay’ it was the most liberating thing.”
