Robin Williams has denied that he is gay after hearing rumours circulating about his orientation.

According to GQ magazine, the Hook star says rumour-mongers have got it wrong, as he is "100% heterosexual".

He explained: "There are many websites that'll go, 'Oh, he's gay - I know he's gay.' Even our chef, who's gay, was at a gay ski lodge, and some guy came up to him and said, 'Robin Williams is gay.' He goes, 'No, he isn't.' 'Oh, I know he is…I know people who've been with him.' They should tell me, because I don't remember."

He added: "(I'm a) big fan of the puss. Always addicted to puss. Came from one."
