Bond Actor Ben Whishaw Reveals He’s Gay And Married

British actor Ben Whishaw has confirmed he is gay and that he got married in Sydney last year.

Whishaw, who played Q in ‘Skyfall’, entered a Civil Partnership with his partner Mark Bradshaw, in August 2012.

Ben Whishaw, who played Q in the latest Bond movie, Skyfall, has opened up about how ‘happy’ and ‘proud’ he is to be married to his partner, Mark Bradshaw.

Over the weekend, Whishaw’s representative confirmed that he and Bradshaw entered into a civil partnership in Sydney last August…

“Due to speculation, I can confirm that Ben and Mark entered into a civil partnership in August 2012. They were proud to do so and are very happy. Ben has never hidden his sexuality, but like many actors he prefers not to discuss his family or life outside of his work.”

Speculation about Whishaw’s sexuality began in 2011 after an interview with Out. When asked about whether it was important for young gay people to have positive role models, Whishaw said…

“I feel in my heart that it’s important, but I don’t quite know yet the way to go about that. Maybe that’s the transitional thing I feel I’m in the middle of at the moment.”
