Ian McKellen, 'Hobbit' Star, Now Wishes He Came Out As Gay Earlier
Sir Ian McKellen now lives out and proudly as a gay man -- but he does have one regret about his coming out.
McKellen, who is currently starring on Broadway alongside longtime pal Sir Patrick Stewart in Samuel Becketts "Waiting for Godot" and Harold Pinters "No Mans Land," tells Men's Journal, "I wish I had come out much earlier, but again, what can you do? You do what you can now."
As the article points out, McKellen first addressed his sexuality with the media in 1988. He was 49 years old at the time.
