Hugh Sheridan鈥檚 2021 is off to a strong start with the loved up actor enjoying the heady days of a new relationship, as speculated about in various whisperings around Sydney and then confirmed in some not so subtle sizzle shots on Bondi beach from the crack team at the
Hugh and his new beau , who were pictured enjoying the freedoms of the times with open and public displays of affection on Bondi beach last month, have been hinting at their relationship for a few weeks now with posts on their social media counts, though it wasn鈥檛 confirmed by Hugh until a recent interview with Adelaide Now.
鈥淗e鈥檚 very kind and it鈥檚 just nice.鈥� Although Sheridan didn鈥檛 name Kurt at the time, it only took a little internet sleuthing for the public to put two and two together.
Kurt is a bit of a mystery man, who is believed to be a financial assistant and also to have been introduced to Hugh鈥檚 family recently. What we do know for sure though is that Kurt featured on the cover of DNA Magazine in 2019 and was also featured in a photoshoot for that same issue entitled 鈥淜urt鈥檚 Morning Glory鈥�, which, well just HOT DAMN.
听Australia Has Come A Long Way
Seeing Hugh and Kurt enjoying themselves so freely in public really does warm the cockles of your heart and it seemed like no big deal that there were two guys over there in the surf indulging in public displays of affection – surely a sign of how far we鈥檝e come since marriage equality became law in Australia.
Hugh had a bit of a rough trot professionally in the last months of 2020 when his casting as Hedwig in Hedwig And The Angry Inch caused much amongst some members of the trans community. So much so that the production was shut down to be recast, though there is yet to be any further news on that front.
鈥淟abels Are For Clothes鈥�
2020 was also the year that Hugh came out to the public in an essay for Stellar Magazine, saying that he has . In the piece he also wrote about the fact that when he first started in the entertainment industry, he was told it was best to hide his true sexuality from the public.
鈥淭he way it was explained to me was that women wouldn鈥檛 want to pay to see a movie or TV show if they knew they couldn鈥檛 have sex with the leading man. And it made me angry.鈥�

It is an opportunity lost that Hugh will not get to play Hedwig. Although unlikely, I think it appropriate for the objectors to publish an apology. Wouldn鈥檛 it have been wonderful for him to have performed the role, and declare his relationship during the season? Surely it would have increased the appeal of the show.
