REMEMBER David Archuleta?

Well, let’s refresh your memory! He’s the cute gay mormon kid from the 2007 season of American Idol. He’s 35 now, aging like a fine wine, and promoting his new book — Devout: Losing My Faith to Find Myself.

But don’t let the title put you off.

In the book, he talks about coming out, being raised Mormon, etc.

And in a new interview to promote his latest project — where likened penises and vaginas to “deep sea creatures” — Archuleta was asked about his views on genitalia.

“I wondered if anyone else felt the way that I did,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

“Then I realised that people actually really do love [dick].

“I was, like, oh?

“I didn’t know that it was a universal thing for queer men and gay men.

“I just love someone’s eyes and, of course, their facial features. I really love someone’s silhouette.

“For me, if I like someone, it’s usually because I looked in their eyes.

“But I feel like body shape is more attractive than body parts but I don’t know. It’s not something I thought about very often or noticed. Everyone has their thing.”
