Summary
Came out at 32. Thought he’d wasted 12 years. Now he runs Attitude Magazine and Rolling Stone UK - and has Elton John on speed dial. In this episode I sit down with Darren Styles OBE, who talks openly about the years he spent hiding who he was before finally stepping into himself. We discuss the twelve-year journey it took to convince Elton John to do a feature, the wild and chaotic reality behind some magazine shoot VPLs (visible penis lines), and the real work and honesty that marriage can demand. This is a conversation about identity, courage, pride, and loving yourself enough to become who you were always meant to be. Believe in yourself, always. 🏳️🌈✨
