Sam Smith is showing a new side of themselves to the world.
On Friday, the “Stay With Me” singer was on SiriusXM’s Hits 1 in Hollywood to talk about their new music, including the more feminine video for “How Do You Sleep?”

Smith explained that they’ve always shown that side privately to friends, “But I think showing it to the world and showing it to people is a different thing, and I finally felt safe enough to do so.
“I feel scared every day. Being my feminine self in this world that we’re in… The music industry … can be a bit homophobic. It’s a bit sexist at times. So being feminine like this in the way that I move and dance and am, it feels quite scary at times. But it’s worth it.”
Smith was also asked, since they’re single, whether they’ve got any Hollywood crushes.
“Do you know who came up on my phone last night?” Smith said. “Shia LaBeouf. He’s so fit. He turns me on.”

With a new James Bond film, “No Time to Die”, on the way, the subject of Smith’s theme song for “Spectre” came up, and the singer was asked who they think should do the theme for the new instalment.
“I think it should be Dua Lipa,” they said, explaining that it would be “amazing to see a female, queer icon like that” take on the theme.
