Richard Armitage reflected on his experiences of physical and verbal bullying during his childhood, linking it to a painful journey of self-acceptance regarding his sexuality.
Armitage revealed that the bullying lasted about ten years, starting from primary school, and expressed that the perpetrators may have recognized his sexuality before he did.
He emphasized the lasting impact of childhood bullying, saying, "The worst part of it is you learn really early in your life that you're worth less than the sh*t on somebody's shoe... it's an ongoing process."
Sharing a conversation with his mother, Armitage described how her supportive but misguided reassurance added to the struggle of accepting his identity in a negative environment.
