Stars whose homosexuality you didn't know about

After looking at some of the celebrities from our list, we are sure you will say: "Come on?!".

Ian McKellen

The British actor confessed to his orientation live on the BBC in 1988. But the villain Magneto from the X-Men trilogy and Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit won the hearts of both sexes.

And the British Queen Elizabeth knighted McKellen in 1990 (and now it is documented that he is the first gay knight!)

The artist does not have a husband. His first boyfriend was history teacher Brian Taylor, after he met Sean Mathias, whom he met on the set of the TV series "Scarlet Hood" in 1982.

Since 2016, McKellen has often started going out with another British sir, actor and his old friend Patrick Stewart.

Everyone thought it was love — but in 2013, Ian was a witness at his wedding to American singer Sunny Ocell.

Stephen Fry

A comedian who embodies a true English gentleman, a talented director, screenwriter and writer is not afraid to admit to having affairs with men — and has been married to Elliott Spencer for four years.

They even announced in 2015 that they wanted to have a baby.

Chuck Palahniuk

The man who created the most masculine novel of the decade, Fight Club, announced his homosexuality in 2003. But for some reason it didn't shock anyone. Anyone familiar with Palahniuk's work understood that a puritan would not be able to create countercultural works of such richness.

The writer himself accidentally let it slip in an interview with a journalist, forbade her to talk about it, but she still made the information public. Immediately, the writer posted an audio on the site in which he announced his non-traditional orientation.

He and his partner, whose name no one knows, according to a biographical sketch and an interview in The Advocate in May 2008, live in an "old church building on the outskirts of the American town of Vancouver."

Rob Halford

The lead singer of the metal band Judas Priest, who defined the sound of heavy metal in the 1970s, one of the coolest performers in heavy rock and metal - who would have thought that he likes men?

And he openly announced his homosexuality in 1998 in an interview with MTV. Moreover, this did not affect the popularity in any way.

The owner of a powerful voice of four octaves, the bearer of the title "god of metal", the developer of the image of the canonical "metalworker" was able to prove that gender is unimportant in creativity.

Neil Patrick Harris

The actor made a corresponding statement to the press in 2006. Even so: Neil admitted that he is "happily gay."

Fans were able to forgive everything to the star after the role of the womanizer Barney Stinsen in the TV series "How I met your mother".

The one who raised the hunt for girls into a real art, systematized all the tricks and techniques and created the "Bro Code" is equally popular among both men and beautiful ladies.

Luke Evans

The star of The Hobbit and the Fast and Furious franchise has never hidden that he is gay.

Ben Whishaw

The English actor, known for his role in the film adaptation of Patrick Suskind's novel "The Perfumer", captured the hearts of women around the world. Alas, the young actor turned out to be openly gay.

He was lucky, and his career both at home and in Homosexuality didn't hurt Hollywood. So, Whishaw starred with the Wachowski sisters in "Cloud Atlas", while he was often in demand in theatrical productions.

Xavier Dolan

The director, the only hope of the European art house, received a number of important prizes at film festivals when he was not even 30 years old.

But the shadow of recognition of orientation flashed in his films, where he touched on the problems of LGBT communities. For example, in 2016, the winner of the Cannes Film Festival, the film "It's only the End of the World" was released on the screens - about the relationship of a young gay man with his family.

Jim Parsons

The hero of the series "The Big Bang Theory" can hardly be called a ladies' man— - nevertheless, the girl of the brilliant physicist with Asperger's syndrome was still there - she is played by Mayim Bialik.

Jim Parsons himself made a coming-out on the eve of his fortieth birthday, saying that he had been happy with his partner Todd Spivak for many years. In 2017, the couple married according to Jewish religious canons.

Zachary Quinto

An American with Italian-Irish roots often appears in films, but the role of Captain Spock in the revived Star Trek series made him famous.

The fact that he is gay, Quinto told an interview with New York Magazine in 2011. He discussed with the publication the problem of legalizing same-sex marriage, and said that if you look at the situation through the eyes of a gay man, then everything is hopeless.

When the U.S. Supreme Court allowed same-sex couples to marry in 2015, Quinto posted on his Instagram post with the text that he was "overwhelmed with gratitude to the Supreme Court and thousands of LGBT activists" who fought and sacrificed a lot to bring them "to this historic moment."

Wentworth Miller

The British star of the TV series "Escape" for many years remained the embodiment of a woman's dream of a brutal pitching in tattoos. And suddenly, in 2013, he made a cuming-out.

It happened when Miller protested against the adoption of Russia's law banning propaganda of non-traditional relations refused to come to the film festival in St. Petersburg. According to him, in his youth, Wentworth Miller tried to commit suicide — because of the intolerant attitude in society towards gays.

Andrew Scott

The actor will immediately be recognized by fans of the British TV series "Sherlock", where he played Professor Moriarty, subsequently receiving the BAFTA award for best supporting actor for the role. In November of this year, he will be the company of Daniel Craig in the James Bond film.

Scott has never hidden his orientation. In 2013, he told the Independent newspaper how happy he was that people did not see anything wrong with his homosexuality.

"Of course, you have to understand that it doesn't do any better than me either. I would compare it to kindness, talent or the ability to play the banjo - just a fact."

Matt Bomer

The star of "White Collar", where he played the fraudster Neil Caffrey, confessed to his homosexuality a year after the release of the series — in 2010. Then the journalist of the publication Details asked the actor about his orientation, and Bomer hinted that he was gay, but did not go into details.

Two years later, Bonnn officially declared that he was gay.

After that, in 2014, he played one of the main roles in the HBO film "Ordinary Heart", which tells about the problem of sexual minorities and AIDS.

Denis O'Hare

The actor is famous for his work in the TV series "True Blood", where he appeared in the image of the ancient king of vampires.

The fact that he likes men, Denis said when he was in high school. In 2011, he married designer Hugo Redwoods, with whom they later adopted a child.

Christian Nairn

A servant of the Stark family in the popular TV series "Game of Thrones" said the same phrase several times during the entire series - his name: "Hodor". That's all the work - it's kind of dusty, right?

The actor became famous, his personal life was examined under a magnifying glass. He decided not to hide and told the whole world on the fan forum "Game of Thrones" that he likes people of the same sex with him.

Jodie Foster

The actress, who became famous in 1991 after the role of FBI agent Clarice Starling, openly declared her unconventional orientation almost immediately.

Moreover, the star has two sons, but who their fathers are is unknown to this day.

And the star grew up with her mother and her partner. The father of the future celebrity, a colonel in the US Air Force, abandoned Jody's mother, Evelyn Almond, when the girl was not yet born. After her husband's betrayal, Evelyn began to live with her friend, and soon made a "cuming-out".

Scott Evans

The brother of Chris Evans, the star of the films "Captain America" and "Fantastic Four", upset his fans with the statement that he likes men.

There were rumors that his brother had distanced himself from him after the statement.
