Very generally speaking, when it comes to gay sex, men fall into one of four categories: “top,” “bottom,” “vers,” or “side.” Then within those four categories, there can sub-categories, like “total top” (i.e. Andy Cohen) or “total bottom” (i.e. Haaz Sleiman).
And then there’s Walking Dead actor Daniel Newman.
Newman, who came out as bisexual in 2017, recently clarified on Twitter that he’s a top. But he’s not a total top. He would consider bottoming for the right guy. If, that is, the right guy ever comes around.
“I’m a TOP. I’m too lazy to bottom!” Newman announced to his 944K followers. “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.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That’s a lot of caveats.

The confusion started shortly after a follower named Disgruntled Jarhead tweeted at Newman at 8:37 a.m. to ask whether he was still up from the night before, or if he had woken up early that morning.
“I’m a Bot,” Newman replied. “We don’t sleep.”
To which, Disgruntled Jarhead replied, “Bot(tom.)”
“Nah,” Newman responded, before elaborating on his answer.
Bot(tom) 😉

We’re so glad this has been clarified.
We’re also glad to see Newman back to his silly sexy self after checking into the ER for symptoms of COVID-19 last month. He wrote about his experience in a widely-shared op-ed published by the New York Times .
Scroll down for more pics from Newman’s Instagram page…

Well, lookie there, after claiming to have had COVID, and no one still paid attention, he had to come out and claim to be a top. LOL!!! No one believes that nonsense.
Chrisk
He just assumed it. He said the tests and the hospital stay cost him $10,000 in spite of them not disclosing his results.
He did manage to get some cute selfies for his instagram though and of coarse queerty’s attention which ain’t hard so I guess there was a silver lining it all.

Cue the bitchy queen brigade in 4 3 2 1………
Goforit
It appears that they beat you to the comment section.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
I used to refer to as BOQB..(Bitter Old Queen Brigade) . 🙂
However nowadays it’s more like VSTB. (Vile Smcubags Troll Brigade)

This is the best and most financially rewarding job I’ve ever had. I actually started this few Weeks ago and almost immediately started to bring home minimum 74BUCKS p/h. I use details from this webpage…? /9.ly/a71LB
snuggles65
And of course EVERY story Queerty runs, has to be of some dude who likes he does nothing but stay in the gym. Come on Queerty. Don’t you know that that is just SO stereotypical about the gay community & that their are other real looking guys in the gay world. I mean honestly, STOP making me feel bad about my extra 20 lbs LOL LOL Stay safe everyone !!!
JPDonahue
Start your own site. Seriously. Start a blog featuring what you want. Don’t wait for others. You’ll just keep waiting. Now is the perfect time!
Toofie
So basically the writer stalks this guy’s Instagram and latches on anything to make a thin article about. Oy…
Alex_S
It’s called “journalism” nowadays.
jayceecook
The fact that he says he’s not a bottom because he’s too lazy has me questioning his personal hygiene. Wouldn’t trust tossing that salad.
djmcgamester
It’s not that much work to bottom. He’s know if he tried it. It’s all fun but if it’s about laziness it’s just ridiculous.
Black Pegasus
More evidence that being Gay and famous doesn’t automatically make you interesting nor likable.
oscarjames
Gay? Hey don’t you ever forget that this “prize” is bisexual. Most definitely not gay.
chase_boston
SAY WHAT : HE HAS HUGE BUTTON WRITTEN ALL OVER HIS SORRY ASS FACE !!!!
seaguy
Did you mean huge bottom?
chase_boston
yes button : he will dance to whatever tune : I think at the moment he is pretending to be a top but with that face though he is big bottom. Those faces usually come with the gay voice. Nothing wrong with that but if you pretend something else, it´s cancels out any attempt of sincerity and authenticity.
seaguy
Not sure why this is news? But isn’t the bottom the one who’d be considered lazy since they are able to just lay there unless they are riding the top?
RyanMBecker
I bet he is talking about all the prep work bottoms do before sex. I’m not gay and I’ve never topped a man but my gay friends say that there’s a fair amount of internal cleansing involved. One gay patient even uses an electric toothbrush which sounds painful (and dangerous since abrasions open up the mucosa for infection) .Personally, I can’t imagine ever penetrating or licking an uncleaned an*s but I guess some people are turned on by that.
As an aside, I’ve always wondered what the rules are. Is a clean rectum a requirement or simply a courtesy among you guys? And do you ask (just as one is supposed to ask about HIV and STDs) before you get down to business?
Chrisk
@RyanMBecker
Ha. You’re really trolling over time to get someone to respond to you aren’t you? 😉
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
Thank you but I’ll pass. If he’s too lazy to bottom surely he’s too lazy to cook breakfast for both of us and too vain to spray air freshener after his morning dump.
oscarjames
I can’t tell you how uninterested I am when some minor celebrity figure comes out as bisexual. Oh really, yawn. You see, then when the same little jerk, comes out and says he’d bottom if the right guy came along and he married him “LOL,” it’s just a bit irritating. I guess for a big macho Bi like him who is also exclusively a top ( when he’s with the boys and not the girls that one assumes he’s also very hot for ) the idea of him marrying a guy is a joke. This is one gay guy telling him to get screwed (literally) and until he’s prepared to own himself as the Gay man he undoubtedly is, to keep his tired commentary to himself.
RyanMBecker
I’ve never bottomed and don’t foresee ever doing so, although I must admit a curiosity. Heck, I’ve never even had sex with a man, despite my girlfriend’s pleas (she LOVES gay porn). Not only does the pain look daunting, but I’d be self-conscious about soiling my partner’s wiener. Not to mention farting. I once saw a gay porn outtake (Corbin Fisher?) where one dude accidentally farted into another dude’s mouth while being rimmed. I think I would fart constantly while bottoming…
oscarjames
My advice to you: put it all out of your mind and never think about it again.
Woteva
Oh dear. As the saying goes (in the U.K. at least) ‘Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it’. You don’t know what you’re missing.
Millions of gay men can’t all be wrong..!
Miles
Lazy is such an unattractive word to use. An immediate turn off.
fishpaw13
Top, bottom, Vers, I know. What is side?
Virpilosus
My question too!
Alex_S
So every extra who was in the frame for like 5 seconds can claim he is a “Walkin Dead” actor? Wow!
Wicked Dickie
So he’s a “top” with a dirty butthole? Yuck.
o.codone
IDK who this guys is except that he’s cute as fcuk. But seriously grow some hair, you’re a man, all that shaving is soooooo twink world.
ElPillo
I’m really wasting my time here.
johnnymcmxxx
Bottom is the lazy position.
Joshooeerr
So he’s “super attracted to tops”, huh? Instead of just publishing this dope’s tweets, why doesn’t Queerty do us all a favour and put this to the test. Line up ten or twenty attractive gay guys and see who this guy picks. I’ll bet he’s no more adept at picking the tops as any laboratory chimp you can pit against him. It’s just a ridiculous comment.
avesraggiana
Daniel who?
Virpilosus
Mr Newman’s body is what we older men used to call “tall and lanky.” And these days I believe he’d be a ginger otter, LOL. My, oh. My! Language was a lot clearer back then.
Terrycloth
He looks like Chris Martin of Coldplay to me..
DingoDawgUSMC
If I may set the record straight. I never asked if he was up or not – I am not that invested in him! I was simply dragging him with my Bot(tom) comment. Let’s just report the facts bros. I know that is a new thing for you. But as a fellow journalist, please work on that!
Woteva
He’s a top? Then I’m Doris Day.
