Celebrity Friday: Ben Whishaw Is Gay (and Partnered)

You have probably noticed British actor Ben Whishaw in smaller parts like Q in the last James Bond movie Skyfall or as a troubled (but sexy) gay man in the Wachowskis' film adaptation of Cloud Atlas.

He was born on October 14, 1980 and at 33 he is a an up-and-coming actor just starting to get noticed by Hollywood. So it is exciting (and encouraging) that he has decided to come out as an openly gay man: he announced that he is in a civil partnership with Australian composer Mark Bradshaw.

Congratulations, Ben!
