If he is gay, he's denied it for years and it's probably become hard to admit. Of course, he might not be. What business is it of anyone? This one comment he made was probably taken out of context and sensationalised. Leave the man alone. What he does in the privacy of his own bedroom is his own business.

Not a fan personally tbh, but as you say, his careers has been amazing...he seems a sound bloke and I don't really see the need for people to take the piss

As for the question..no it wouldn't matter one bit. Good on him for not giving into the pressure of revealing details of his private life... and if he is gay and just hasnt blabbed it all over the papers for a bit of publicity like it seems the in thing to do at the moment, then even better on him.
