In a sport that oozes much masculinity and brutality, who would have thought Darren Young...? World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar Darren Young surprised a TMZ cameraman when he came out as gay during an impromptu interview at Los Angeles International Airport.
A videographer stopped Young while he was getting his bags at LAX Wednesday and asked the 33-year-old if he thinks a gay wrestler could be successful within the WWE organization.
"Absolutely," Young said, laughing. "Look at me. I'm a WWE Superstar and, to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay, and I'm happy. Very happy."
The cameraman was stunned and told Young he had no idea, to which the wrestler said he doesn't think his sexuality should matter.
He is said to be the 1st openly gay male wrestler actively participating in the professional sphere.
A representative for the WWE said the wrestling organization is proud of Young for coming out.
Young began wrestling professionally in 2002 and joined the WWE in 2005. He is currently in LA for the SummerSlam event.
