‘Did I know it? No. Did I do something about it? Obviously no. But I had adapted in a certain way.

‘I was lying for a very long time because society wasn’t ready to hear what I had to say.’

Henry says he spent his childhood trying to please his father and then his entire playing career trying to please others, comparing it to wearing a ‘cape’.

‘Everything came at once, especially during the Covid time,’ he said.
