Sorry ladies, you’ve just lost another hot dude to the men.Wentworth,
who played the lead character Michael Scofield in Prison Break declared he is
gay 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.
Wentworth Miller
