20 Straight Characters We Didn't Know Were Openly Male lover In Real Life
In the past, celebrities who were gay would tend to keep to themselves, not wanting their personal animation aired out for the public to have an opinion on. It was their private life and their private relationships, so what was it to anyone else? But when the 90s rolled around, famous actors and actresses started opening up and emerged from the confinement of the closet. Most famously was Ellen DeGeneres, who came out of the closet by way of her comedy series Ellen.
Since then, more actors have officially come out and have not been typecast for doing so and are welcomed by the public with unseal arms. Here are 20 straight characters who were played by actors so amazingly, we didn’t comprehend they’re gay in genuine life.
20 Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother (Neil Patrick Harris)
Anyone who watched How I Met Your Mother knows that the traits of Barney Stinson was a notorious ladies human who dated so much during the series, we lost count of all the women. In authentic life though, actor Neil Patrick Harris is happily married to actor David Burtka (who also starred on By Greg Hernandez on Aug 10, 2012 8:30 am | Comments (8) | Yes, I realize , we’re going to have to launch ignoring his rants soon because Bret Easton Ellis is starting to receive a little ridiculous and clearly loves the attention he is getting from his outrageous tweets. Yesterday, I shared with you his comments that Matt Bomer would be miscast in the motion picture versions of 50 Shades of Grey because he is gay. He has not backed away from that and instead is fanning the flames. His latest Bomer-related remarks: Reading all of these articles about Matt Bomer: I NEVER said gay actors can’t play straight roles, or straight actors can’t play male lover roles. … However: in the VERY specific case of trophy-husband Matt Bomer playing Christian Grey then it makes things problematic. That’s the truth… Scene in Fifty Shades of Grey I’m most looking forward to: Matt Bomer as CG: “Are you gay, Mr. Grey?” Matt sighs: “No, Anastasia, I’m not.” Then he moves in to Neil Patrick Harris’s Emmy-nominated portr If you’re like me – and you’re almost certainly not – you appreciate to dunk your buttered toast in hot chocolate and you think socks should be a legal requirement in public spaces.

But, as with all of the opinions you find online, you don’t have to understand anything I’m saying to accept with me. I just have to keep talking until you stop reading, and then in a week you’ll reference this half-accurately at work.

In a Thursday interview with U.K.'s The Times, Harris shared his thoughts on the comments made by screenwriter Russell T Davies, who said he is opposed to straight actors playing gay roles.
