Hugh Sheridan quietly changes pronouns
Hugh Sheridan has quietly changed his pronouns back to he/him after identifying as non-binary for the last two years.
The Aussie actor had been going by they/them pronouns, after coming out as a “nonbinary bisexual human” in 2021.
Nonbinary people don't categorise their gender identity as either male or female and often go by the inclusive pronouns of they/them.
On Tuesday evening, the 38-year-old quietly changed his pronouns to he/him on his Instagram profile.
Hugh has previously made the announcement that he was non-binary on Instagram in a post to promote landing the cover of gay men's magazine DNA.
“I AM still a human (non binary/bi/me/Hughman) but I'm in a monogamous relationship with another human, who I love,” Hugh wrote.
He continued, “I don't accept a label cause it limits me… if you want it, take it.”
“I chose zero labels for no other reason except the exclusion, limitations, separation, I believe are all one, deeeeep down.”
“And who knows? Why choose? Be you. Be true. Be free to BE, to JUST BE… you, a human, same as me.”
In the interview with DNA, Hugh said that he was now comfortable with being called “gay”, despite not subscribing to labels.
“Now I'm marrying a guy you can call me gay,” Hugh explained to the magazine.
At the time, the Packed to the Rafters star was set to marry influencer Kurt Roberts, but the pair split just eight months after announcing their engagement.
“Whatever! The point is, we're all human and, in my case, labelling put me into a box that felt like a cell,” he added.
