‘I thought I loved myself heaps but obviously not because I needed that tan on to feel my best. But “the best” is being yourself,’ he added.

Kurt first rose to fame in 2016 on social media as a teenager where he boasted he was ‘Australia’s first influencer’.
The openly gay Gold Coast native made headlines earlier this year when he revealed he rejected ‘identity labels’.
Posting a video message to his Instagram, Kurt said he was happy to just identify himself by his name rather than use a particular label.
‘I thought I loved myself heaps but obviously not because I needed that tan on to feel my best. But “the best” is being yourself,’ he added
He explained while he is gay, he doesn’t see himself as part of the wider LGBT community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community).
‘I’m just saying what I think, and I don’t even ever want to be involved with the “LGBT community” either. I just can’t relate,’ Kurt said.
‘It’s amazing that people have their communities but I just don’t relate to it… I just see myself as me. I don’t think into it at all,’ he added.
Kurt also said he also has no interest in being a ‘role model’ to other gay people, and is happy just being himself.
Kurt often posts photos of his younger self to Instagram to show how much he has changed over the years. He is pictured here when he was underweight and having health issues
