Sorry ladies, we've lost another hot one
to the men. Damn! Who would have thunk it? Anyone surprised he's gay?
Wentworth, who played the lead character Michael Scofield in Prison
Break came out as a gay man yesterday August 21 via an open letter to
the Saint Petersburg Film Festival, rejecting an invitation to attend a
premiere there because of Russia's recently-passed anti-gay laws.
The 41-year-old actor wrote:
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.I
am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay
men and women by the Russian government. The situation is in no way
acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory
occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being
systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.Perhaps,
when and if circumstances improve, I'll be free to make a different
choice.
Until then.
