Will Smith gay rumors continue to swirl after Olympic gymnast Louis Smith talks about having a male crush on the megastar in "Gay Times" magazine.

Louis Smith graced the cover of the magazine nothing but a speedo defended the right of gay marriage and his crush on Will Smith.

Smith told the magazine, "What is 'natural'? If someone says to you 'act normal' - what is 'normal'? You can't be defined. If you fall in love with someone you fall in love with someone."

The gymnast was asked if he were gay who his man crush would be and the athlete made the interview more interesting when he answered, "I got asked this the other day... I said Will Smith. Because he's very dedicated to his family, he's very loyal, funny, hard working and talented. So, in the most non-sexual way, it would have to be based on the person."

Louis admitted that athletes have trouble coming out because in a "man's sport" it makes it seem less likely for men to be gay, "Expectation - no matter what it is - tends to build up pressure and nerves. I had an expectation on me to perform and to achieve certain results in the games, and I think if you're in a sport that's deemed as a man's sport you have that expectation to be straight. That's a lot of pressure to carry on your shoulders, so that's tough."

However, in regards to his own sport, Louis claims it's easier for men to come out of the closet, "You know there's been a lot of people that've come out in gymnastics... because you're always wearing a leotard, it's a very artistic sport, it's not rolling around on the floor getting muddy, so I don't think there's that much pressure." He added that the sport helped him realize that the world is changing and becoming very accepting in same sex marriages, "When you first start off doing something like gymnastics your aim is never to become famous and rich. You love the sport, you do the sport, and for me things are progressing beyond that... things are evolving, I guess, things are taking a different route. The world is evolving too, I think it's a better society you know not just for gay people but people doing different things."
