Yesterday (Jun 2), Larry posted a TikTok video of him listening to the popular TikTok sound: 'International Super Spy' by the Backyardigans as the lyrics "there's one thing you can expect from me and that's the unexpected" played. Larry also put a caption that read "plays a character with a girlfriend on TV" in the video. He then officially came out by adding "is bi irl".
Alongside the video, Larry wrote: "is it really that unexpected tho #pride". The video quickly racked up over a million likes with friends and fans congratulating Larry in the comments.
Larry also celebrated Pride month the day before by tweeting: "I have T minus 30 days to figure out how to do drag so I can turn out a look before the end of the month (#HappyPrideMonth I love you ALL SO MUCH)".
