Wentworth Miller “Feeding a Fantasy” Before Coming Out
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Features,
Wentworth Miller felt he was "feeding a fantasy" before announcing that he is gay.
The former Prison Break star, who opened up about his sexuality for the first time last August, says he has a better relationship with his fans now.
"I feel more fully expressed. After Prison Break, I came to grips with the fact that my public persona was in misalignment with how I actually felt. I was out to a handful of people in my twenties, and once I hit 30, I was out to family and friends. But professionally, I was feeding a fantasy. I created this air of 'We don't address that thing,'" the 42-year-old actor told Details magazine.
Asked if he felt like he was lying about his sexuality in the past, he said, "My face was on billboards, and I thought it was my job to act a certain way. But I think audiences knew to a certain degree. The people onscreen aren't the characters they're playing. They're our projection of who we want them to be. I think it's possible to have a man-crush if you're not gay or to have a crush on a guy you know to be gay if you're a woman."

Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez to Move in Together?
Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez are moving in together.
The British model and the American actress have become inseparable over the past few weeks and are now house hunting in the UK for their own place. "They love spending time with one another so moving in is a no-brainer. Splitting their time between London and LA would suit both of them. Cara's family have met Michelle and think she's great," a source said.
Michelle, 35, and Cara, 21, first sparked rumors they were dating after they were spotted cuddling up to each other while watching the New York Knicks defeat the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden at the beginning of the month.
The Burberry model - who has been romantically linked to One Direction star Harry Styles - has hinted in the past that she is attracted to both men and women. She also wrote a cryptic message on Twitter in November, which read, "Don't worry I play for more than one team."
