Watch: Coldplay's Chris Martin Opens Up About Being Homophobic, Questioning His Sexuality

Though he's been a support for LGBTQ rights for years, Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin recently revealed that he was "very homophobic" while a young boy growing up in London and even questioned his own sexuality.

The singer's comments came during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine Tuesday, where he explained that he held anti-gay views and was a bit confused about his own identity when he was in boarding school.

"When I went to boarding school I walked a bit funny and I bounced a bit and I was also very homophobic because I was like, 'If I'm gay, I'm completely fucked for eternity' and I was a kid discovering sexuality. 'Maybe I'm gay, maybe I'm this, maybe I'm that, I can't be this,'" he said.

The 42-year-old musician said that some of his "hardcore" classmates "quite aggressively" told him he was "'definitely gay' in quite a full-on manner."

Martin was asked if he thought he was gay himself, he said, "I don't know and even if I am, I can't be because it's wrong. ... If I am, I can't be so that was creating a terrible turmoil."

He went on to tell Rolling Stone that when he was about 15 years old, he began "to worry about" his sexuality but eventually moved past those negative feelings.

"I don't know what happened, I was like, 'Yeah, so what?' and then it all just stopped overnight," he said. "It was very interesting. Once I was like, 'Yeah, so what if I'm gay.'"

Martin said learning that his heroes are gay helped "ease a big pressure" and made him rethink his religious beliefs.

"[It] made me question, 'Hey, maybe some of this stuff that I'm learning about God and everything – I'm not sure if I subscribe to all of this particular religion,'" he told Rolling Stone. "So for a few years, that was a bit wobbly and then eventually I just was like, 'OK, I think I have my own relationship with what I think God is and it's not really any one religion for me.'"
