The Riot Club actor - who was rumoured to be dating Prince Harry's ex and Mulberry's new muse, Cressida Bonas - has an "appreciation of both sexes".

"I've had girlfriends, but I wouldn't wish to say 'I am this or I am that', because at some time in my life I might fall in love with a man," he told The Telegraph.

"I hope that I am the type of person who would fall in love with another person, as opposed to a sex. Most of my life to date has been as a straight man, but who knows what will happen next?

"It sounds evasive, but I don't think you can necessarily say you're one thing or another until you're 100 years old and you've done it all."

Fox stars in a new promotional campaign video for Mulberry, alongside Bonas, prompting speculation that the two were romantically involved.

He asserts that bisexuality still has negative connotations, despite being an age-old notion.

"A lot of people will hear that and think it means, 'Well, he's gay and just excusing it', or 'He's been with his girlfriend for a really long time and just wants to change things,'" he said.

"It's often seen as an excuse that you're going through a phase of one thing or another. Whereas in fact I would strongly suggest that's probably not the case for a lot of people.

"Appreciation of both sexes is actually not new; it's incredibly old it's Roman, it's Greek, and it is something people can do throughout an entire lifetime, having hugely meaningful relationships, no matter what sex they are."
