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 Beckett’s "Waiting for Godot" and Harold Pinter’s "No Man’s 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.

I wish some of our angry all the time Liberal friends here would just come out already.
Maybe they would be happier.
