"With his trademark deep bass voice and commanding stature, it's hard to believe Domingo didn't always walk confidently commanding the attention of whatever room he entered. But in Daniel Davies' interview, we quickly learn how young Colman was a shy, "very skinny," "very awkward" introvert, had a lisp and went by his middle name Jason. Jason Domingo? Doesn't have the same ring to it."
"The Euphoria star explained how he first came out to his older brother in the early '90s after his sibling had taken him to a strip club. That'll do it! "I told him that I was gay. He looked at me and was just like, 'What?' He just couldn't believe it," Domingo told Men's Health UK. "Eventually, he said, 'I don't care, man. I love you anyway.'""
"He'd go through a wilder experience after his older sister got word that Domingo had opened up to their brother. "She was pissed off. I said, 'Look, yes, it was really hard for me to tell him.' She said, 'No, no, no. Why didn't you tell me first?' She was pissed off because she didn't get the information first," he shared while laughing."
"Proving what a close-knit family he had, both his mother and stepfather had a close to perfect reaction when they received the news. "You're a good boy and there's nothing you can tell me that""
Colman Domingo appears on the cover of Men’s Health UK’s June 2026 issue in body-baring photos. In an accompanying interview, he describes how he used to be shy, very skinny, and very awkward, with a lisp, and that he went by his middle name Jason. He explains that he began stepping into his truth in his early 20s. He first came out to his older brother in the early 1990s after being taken to a strip club, and his brother responded with disbelief before saying he loved him anyway. His older sister reacted with anger because she felt she should have been told first. He also describes supportive reactions from his mother and stepfather.
