" Tom Daley has revealed that he finds it &amp;quot;funny&amp;quot; when people think that he is gay. The Olympic bronze medalist said that he would happily admit to being gay if he was, The Mirror reports.  He said: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s funny when people say I&amp;#039;m gay... I laugh it off. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not. But even if I was, I wouldn&amp;#039;t be ashamed. It wouldn&amp;#039;t bother me in the slightest what people thought.&amp;quot; The 19-year-old admitted that he can understand why he has a gay following. He continued: &amp;quot;But I can understand why I have a massive gay following - I spend most of my life half naked in trunks on a diving board showing off my bare chest.  &amp;quot;I often joke I wear more to bed than I do to work. But I&amp;#039;m cool with my gay following. It&amp;#039;s great to have gay fans even though my friends gently take the mick.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I just think about my diving,&amp;quot; Daley added. &amp;quot;If people think I am gay or that I don&amp;#039;t focus on my diving enough and go out too much, there is always going to be an opinion - and if I worry about that too much, then my diving goes downhill.&amp;quot; Last month, Daley told Digital Spy that being named Attitude&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Sexiest Man&amp;#039; was &amp;quot;surreal&amp;quot;, but &amp;quot;very cool&amp;quot;.
