Smith knew he was gay while growing up but lived in the shadows because he feared being judged. He felt alone, faced a lot of hostility from people, and was called all sorts of names. He couldn't be who he really was and constantly doubted himself.
However, according to some of his Instagram posts, the actor is a dog lover and occasionally shares photos of him bonding with his pets.
"I could never be who I was. I was constantly having to check myself and make sure I wasn't looking at someone too long or making someone feel uncomfortable," Smith told Attitude Magazine during an interview.
It was difficult for him to tell people about his sexuality; there wasn't an LGBTQ union or groups for him to fit in, so he felt alone. The only place he felt safe, where he could eliminate the isolating feelings, was when he performed on stage.
"In front of an audience, I disappeared and became someone else," he told the publication. Smith lived in the shadows for a long time, but when he turned 30, he opened up about his sexuality to his family.
His parents' reaction surprised Smith as they were more accepting than he had expected. He received overwhelming support from them, noting that his parents knew about his sexuality but were waiting for him to talk to them.
