In the early 2000's The Mail On Sunday carried an interview with the 55-year-old, who they had tracked
down to being a hotel manager in Hollywood. He was quick to laugh off the rumours.
"It's ridiculous," he said. "I don't know where all this started. I am all bloke. I've never
worn a frock in my life. I'm the least likely man to have a sex swap."
After divorcing his wife, he shared a flat with a male friend, but insisted: "I promise I'm straight."
In 2025 Tony Powell acknowledged that he was gay.
He was the subject of the 2025 documentary "The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel", which
focused on Powell's experiences as a closeted gay footballer and his disappearance from the public
eye following the conclusion of his career. He managed the hotel for twenty five years.
The Last Guest had its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival, at a sold-out screening on 8th June 2025.
