Wentworth Miller announces he is a gay man. “Cuz we’d have never guessed.
In case you missed the news, no longer a celebrity Wentworth Miller came out of his humongous closet on Wednesday via a letter he sent to a Russian film festival turning down their request that he host their function, as a protest against the country’s recent anti-gay legislation. The letter, which miraculously appeared on the internet even before the film festival organizers received their copy, says:
“Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline.”
Okay, so maybe his move is a tad bit better than refusing to order a shot of Stoli, but on the larger stage a film festival that can’t do any better than a celebrity whose only press coverage over the last 4 years has been gay rumors isn’t quite up there with the Winter Olympics. Not that anyone gay has figured out what to do about that boondoggle yet. And while you have to give the 41-year-old star of Prison Break credit for coming out when he doesn’t have a soon to be published book to promote, I’d care more if:
In my dreams. In Wentworth’s too no doubt.
He’d come out when his career was on the rise instead of when being considered as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars;
His name wasn’t Wentworth, ‘cuz when you name your child Wentworth you just know how that’s gonna turn out;
He wasn’t British, ‘cuz when your child is British you just know how that’s gonna turn out;
He’d come out back when I was still in touch with my friend Jay, so I could have collected on that $100 bet that the boy was family;
He’d not spent so much time and effort in the past denying he was gay . . . like, “I’m not gay, I’m just shy,” was any more believable than Jeremy Renner‘s claim that he’s just too busy to be dating girls;
He’d come out in tandem with co-star Dominic Purcell, ‘cuz I’d really like to see those two get their gay on;
He’d posed at least shirtless back when he had a hot body, without all those god awful tatoos, and;
I wasn’t so busy trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Bradley Manning is now a ladyboy namd Chelsea
