    10 Gay & Queer Celebs Who've Talked About Being Tops, Bottoms, or Vers

    These celebs have opened up about whether they are tops, bottoms, or vers.

    tops and bottoms

    Top, bottom, or vers? It's an age-old question that has puzzled many people for thousands of years. While not everyone subscribes to those labels, for many queer people, and especially gay men, calling yourself a top, bottom, or vers can be a way to help find potential partners and hookups. It can even make you feel more empowered.

    Have you ever wondered which of your favorite LGBTQ+ celebs are tops and bottoms? Here's a list of a few of the queer celebs who have come out about their preferences in bed.

    Andy Cohen — Top

    Andy Cohen

    Andy Cohen's BFF Anderson Cooper spilled the tea that Cohen is a top way back in 2014. Four years later, Cohen told Attitude that he isn't a big fan of the labels.

    "The connotation about being a top or a bottom, I think for the person/the spectator who from the outside, or who can just be looking to make a generalization, it insinuates 'Who's the man and who's the woman?' which obviously is outdated," he said. "The truth about today is that everybody's topped and everybody's bottomed at one point in life; it's more of an open playing field."

    Bowen Yang — Bottom

    In a Saturday Night Live sketch with that week's host Simu Liu, Yang and Liu were competing to see who had the most groundbreaking "firsts." At one point, Yang mentions that he was on People magazine's Sexiest Men Alive list, to which Liu asks, "weren't you the first openly bottom guy on that list?"

    "I'm not open about that," Yang replied. "Who told you that?"

    "Oh sorry, I just guessed," Liu said. "Oh, nice! Good job!"

    Daniel Newman — Top

    The Walking Dead's Daniel Newman tweeted out his preferences to a fan who joked that he was a bottom.

    "I'm a TOP," he tweeted. "I'm too lazy to bottom! Lol. Maybe if I got married. But I'm also always super attracted to tops so I guess whoever is strong enough and can pin down the other wins that night."

    Haaz Sleiman — Total Bottom

    Haaz Sleiman

    Eternals star Haaz Sleiman came out as a total bottom in a video where he said, "I'm a gay, Muslim, Arab-American man. And I'm gonna take it even further. Not only am I gay, but I'm a bottom. And not only am I a bottom, but I'm a total bottom, which means I like it up you-know-where."

    Lil Nas X — Bottom

    Lil Nas X

    Lil Nas X revealed that he's a bottom in his hit song "Holiday," where he rapped, "Aye, can I pop shit? I might bottom on the low, but I top shit."

    Later, in a promotional video for his album Montero, he played a new anchor who said, "Breaking news, power bottom 'rapper' Lil Nas X and his caucasian friend led a prison escape this morning," referencing his "Industry Baby" music video where he stages a prison break after dropping the soap in the showers.

    Nico Tortorella — Vers Top

    The nonbinary actor and model posted an Instagram story back in 2020 showing a "gay sitting alignment chart" with a red arrow pointing towards the "top" position and the words "this is how I was sitting when I read this meme. For the record." However, they added a yellow arrow pointing at the "vers" position and said "(but more here, depends on the day y'all)."

    Ross Mathews — Top

    Ross Mathews

    The comedian and RuPaul's Drag Racejudge told Howard Stern during an interview that he was wrong to think he's a power bottom. When he said that he was in fact a top, Stern asked if he was a power top.

    "Not like a...I don't, like, 'give it.' I'm not like, 'come here, I gotta give it to ya,'" he said before giggling.

    Ryan O'Connell — Power Bottom

    Ryan O'Connell

    In a 2019 interview with Queerty, Special star Ryan O'Connell revealed that he's a "power bottom b*tch who loves being in control" and said that he loves missionary position and being on top.

    Troye Sivan — Bottom

    Troye Sivan

    While singer Troye Sivan has shut down questions about his sexual preferences in the past, he said about his 2021 song "Angel Baby" that "someone had to bring back juicy gushy gay power bottom ballads." His other song "Bloom" has also been declared a "Bottom Anthem."

    Joel Kim Booster — Vers

    Joel Kim Booster

    In Joel Kim Booster's appearance on Grindr's "69 Questions" video series, Booster answered the question "morning or night sex?" with "morning if I'm topping, night if I'm bottoming." He then answered "leather or lace?" with "leather if I'm topping, lace if I'm bottoming."
