Baz Luhrmann<\/a>‘s daughter was upset by rumours about her father’s sexuality.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin sleep in separate beds<\/p>\n

The 60-year-old filmmaker has been married to costume designer Catherine Martin – the mother of his children Lilly, 19, and 17-year-old William – since 1997 but has still been dogged by speculation he was hiding the fact he is gay, and his eldest child has recalled being mocked at school about the gossip.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the ‘Under the Gloss’ podcast, Lilly said: \u201cI did get followed to school, by a truck that was paparazzi \u2026 They were bullying my dad there for a little bit there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI specifically remember I was driving in the car, on the radio, this guy was like, \u2018Today we\u2019re going to be discussing, is Baz Luhrmann<\/a> gay? Breaking news, they sleep in two different bedrooms.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I went to school and the kids were like, \u2018Is your dad gay?\u2019 That was the first time I felt embarrassed \u2026 Not embarrassed, but more like, \u2018Why are these people talking about my dad? Why are they making fun?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018They just have different sleeping schedules.\u2019 “<\/p>\n

\nLilly insisted she isn’t “traumatised” by the gossip but it was the first time she realised her parents were in the public eye.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: \u201cI mean, I\u2019m not traumatised for life by it. I\u2019ve gotten over it. There\u2019s worse things to go through. But it was the first time I was aware something was a bit amiss.”<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘Elvis’ filmmaker previously explained he and Catherine sleep separately because they “need space” and time alone.<\/p>\n

\nHe said in 2014: “We worked out a long time ago that we both need space.<\/p>\n

\n“We are surrounded by our teams of staff all day every day, whether traveling, at work and at our homes.<\/p>\n

\n“I was finding I was saying things in passing that weren’t properly thought through, things would become fraught. We both needed time to ourselves.”<\/p>\n

\nAnd he and Catherine also admitted their differing schedules mean they need to sleep at different times.<\/p>\n

\nDescribing himself as an “insomniac”, Baz said: “I do not sleep, no matter how many barbiturates are involved, so I work at night.” <\/p>\n

\nHis wife added: “I don’t lead a 9-to-5 existence, but those of us who make things or expect deliveries or work with people who put nails into pieces of wood, we tend to work from 7 am to 3 pm. Without my own bedroom, I’d have to kill him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
