Apparently a singer. "Talent Recap," which posts videos of his work on youtube, is unaware that gay men and lesbians exist, or wishes that they didn't:
"Matt Linnen melts all girls' hearts with his voice!"
"Ladies fell in love with Matt Linnen!"
"Ladies can't stop loving stunning Matt Linnen!"
Awake for fifteen minutes, and already I've been told that I don't exist.
The homophobic posts come from The X-Factor Britain, an amateur musician competition that premiered in 2004, and ran for 445 episodes. Not a very gay-positive environment: in 2016, Pink News reported that gay X Factor singer Bradley Hunt and his singing parter Ottavio were "booted off" after weeks of homophobic abuse by fellow contestants and of course host Simon Cowell.
Matt Linnen was a plasterer from Southend-on-the-Sea, Essex, who appeared in X-Factor Season 14 in 2017, moving up the ranks with songs like "La Vida Loca" and "If I Were a Boy." He was eliminated in the semi-finals, but several of his song are available for downloading on Discogs and Apple Music.
Wait -- "If I Were a Boy"?
If I were a boy, even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the morning, bnd throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys, and chase after girls
Oh, it's about being hetero-horny.
The instant fame gained him 10,000 followers on Instagram and 16,000 on Facebook.
Now Matt seems to be involved with live concerts. Here he poses with the Irish group Nothing But Thieves. I like the short guy.
And with a circus group?
More Matt, including the explicit photos, after the break. Warning: explicit.
