At around ages 14 and 15, other boys at the school began to assume he was gay.
"When I went to boarding school I walked a bit funny and I bounced a bit and I was also very homophobic because I was like, 'If I'm gay, I'm completely f----d for eternity' and I was a kid discovering sexuality," he recalled. "I was terrified."

While the star claims he doesn't "know what it was" that changed the way he viewed homosexuality, he suspects it had something to do with "just growing up a bit."
"[I had] a bit more exposure to the world, thinking, 'A lot of my heroes are gay,' or whatever.

It was very interesting," Martin said. Whatever they are, it doesn't really matter," the 'Fix You' singer explained. "So what that did was ease a big pressure and then made me question, like 'Hey maybe some of this stuff that I’m learning about God and everything' … I'm not sure if I subscribe to all of this particular religion."Martin was married to Gwyneth Paltrow for 10 years before the two divorced in 2016.
Once I was like, 'Yeah, so what if I'm gay.'"
Recalling himself as being "evangelical" in his religious beliefs at that time, he said that by freeing himself from past homophobic thoughts, his beliefs about his faith also changed.
"Just growing up a bit and having a bit more exposure to the world thinking, 'A lot of my heroes are gay' or whatever.
"'Maybe I'm gay, maybe I'm this, maybe I'm that, I can't be this,' so I was terrified and then I walked a bit funny and I was in a boarding school with a bunch of quite hardcore kids who were also going for their thing and, for a few years, they would very much say, 'You're definitely gay,' in quite a full-on manner, quite aggressively telling me that and it was weird for me for a few years."
He said he "started to worry about it," but, eventually, he found peace in knowing that the label didn't matter.
"About 15 and a half, I don't know what happened," he continued.

The Grammy-winning artist recalled that his classmates would tell him with conviction that he was gay.
"I was in a boarding school with a bunch of quite hardcore kids who were also gone for their thing and, for a few years, they would very much say, 'You’re definitely gay,' in quite a full-on manner, quite aggressively telling me that and it was weird for me for a few years," Martin said.
Martin added when he was younger he didn't know if he was gay and thought that even if he was, he thought it was wrong.
"I don't know and even if I am, I can't be because it's wrong," Martin said he thought at the time, adding he started to worry about being gay.
He said there came a time where he stopped worrying about being gay, which he attributed to gaining more exposure to the world and recognizing that some of his heroes are gay.
"About 15 and a half, I don't know what happened, I was like, 'Yeah, so what?' and then it all just stopped overnight.
Whatever they are, it doesn’t really matter," he said. "So what that did was ease a big pressure and then made me question, 'Hey maybe some of this stuff that I’m learning about God and everything - I'm not sure if I subscribe to all of this particular religion.'"
Eventually, though, Martin found clarity around his religious beliefs.
"… So for a few years, that was a bit wobbly and then eventually I just was like, 'OK, I think I have my own relationship with what I think God is and it's not really any one religion for me," he said.
