Brit Actor Ben Whishaw Comes Out As Gay, Confirms Marriage To Partnerby Will Kohler |
British actor Ben Whishaw best known for his roles in Skyfall, Brideshead Revisited, and Cloud Atlas has
confirmed he's gay via a statement from a publicist and confirms that
he married his partner, Australian composer Mark Bradshaw, nearly a
year ago.
The Daily Mail reports:
Speculation
was sparked by an interview he gave to the gay magazine Out in March
2011 while playing a homosexual character in an off-Broadway play, The
Pride.
When
the interviewer asked whether it was important for young gay people to
have positive role models, Whishaw replied: ‘I feel in my heart that
it’s important, but I don’t quite know yet the way to go about that.
Maybe that’s the transitional thing I feel I’m in the middle of at the
moment.’
Last
night Whishaw’s spokesman confirmed the civil partnership, saying: ‘Ben
has never hidden his sexuality, but like many actors he prefers not to
discuss his family or life outside of his work.
‘Due
to speculation, I can confirm that Ben and Mark entered into a civil
partnership in August 2012. They were proud to do so and are very
happy.’
Welcome to the freedom to be who you are Ben and a belated congratulations to the happy couple.
