Of coming out publicly in 1988, the actor said:
"It made me a better actor. It opened me up emotionally. It's amazing that it’s an experience that people who you'll never meet, in places in the world you'll never go to, can relate to. It's one of the best things I've ever done... I wish that a major sportsman or woman would come out, that would make a huge difference. We need more role models in the public eye, and I know that some of those people are fearful about how people would perceive them if they came out."
Someone might want to inform Gandalf that Martina Navratilova is a woman.
