British DJ Woody Cook Jokes Mom Willed Him Bi

Did a British DJ's mom will him to be bisexual?

The Daily Mail reported that Woody Cook "joked that his mother Zoe Ball may have 'manifested' his bisexuality, because she 'always wanted a gay son.'"

"The DJ, 21, publicly shared his sexuality in 2018 after being encouraged to do so by a modelling agent, who said he would 'inspire' others to 'feel better about themselves'. Now, Woody shared the amusing anecdote that his mum Zoe may have been the mental cause of his bisexuality."

On the Homo Sapiens podcast, he said: "My mum always said she wanted me to be gay... so maybe she manifested it – halfway at least."

He added: "She's just like, ''What is it, Woody?'"

"So I told her and she was like, 'It's great', but she was also confused, and said, 'Isn't that just the step before being gay or something?'"

Cook came out four years ago prior to appearing on the Channel 4 reality series, "The Circle."

"Woody previously told MailOnline that he had doubts about coming out because he feared he'd been seen as 'attention-seeking,'" the Mail said.

He explained: "Originally, when I first came out before the show, I'd been doing this modelling thing. I'd been working with an agent who said, 'You should come out.'"

"But I was like, 'Why? Anyone who knows me knows. I just feel like that's attention seeking.'"

His modeling agent advised him of the benefit of coming out. "'No, if you can come out and it can inspire one person to feel better about yourself, you've already won.' And I went, 'You're so right.'"

"I know you have come from a world where it's OK to be who you are, but not everyone shares that reality," the agent continued. "A lot of people are really struggling and if they see someone that they can look up to who is open, then maybe they can or maybe they can show that to their parents. Either way, it can open up conversations."

Then Cook went on the hit Netflix reality show.

"And so I came onto 'The Circle' and and I was very, I don't know, I wasn't gonna yell it from the rooftops," he said. "It's just one layer of my personality. I flirted with a lot of guys on the show and it's quite apparent. And then I kind of got ousted when someone made an artwork of me with like a little rainbow love heart."

"I was like, 'Yeah, you know what? I'm bisexual. What about it?' And so for me, I didn't want to drop it in as a statement. It was never meant to be a thing. It was just brought up. So I was like, 'Yeah, that's me."'
