After the release of his 2013 memoir, Man Up!, Mathews has been much more open about his sexuality, and revealed how he came to the conclusion he was gay.
“I realized I was gay in the shower one day with Barbra Streisand. It happened while I was lathering, rinsing, and repeating with Pert Plus,” he wrote. “As I was belting out the chorus to my favorite song from Funny Girl, ” ‘Oh my man, I love him so, he’ll never know ‘it hit me.”
