'Fleabag' star Andrew Scott: Don't call me 'openly gay'
Fleabag actor Andrew Scott has explained why he doesn't like being referred to as "openly gay".
Speaking to British GQ Magazine, Scott, who is also established for his role in Sherlock, pointed out: "You're never described as openly gay at a party."
He continued, giving examples: "'This is my openly same-sex attracted friend Darren'... [or] 'She's openly Irish'.
"It implies a defiance I don’t feel."
Celebrated for playing the linear love interest - recognizable by many as 'The Hot Priest' - of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character in series two of Fleabag, Scott reiterated that his sexuality had no ramification on his acting abilities.
"Sexuality isn't something you can cultivate, particularly," he told the magazine.
"It isn't a talent. You believe the relationship, that's my job."
Scott made the comments after being honoured at the annual GQ Men of the Year awards last week, where Waller-Bridge presented him with the award for Standout Performance of the year.

AndrewRannells'character on the HBO series "Girls" might be interested in messing around with women, but Rannells himself is a "purebred" gay.
In a recent interview with Vulture, Rannells reveals that in Season 2 of "Girls," his personality Elijah -- Hannah's (Lena Dunham) homosexual ex-boyfriend -- questions how gay he really is and puts himself to the test with with a gal. The 34-year-old thespian said he has never found himself in that situation. Rannells is a "purebred gay."
"I personally have never had sex with a woman. I'm more of what you call gold-star gay," he told Vulture. "I'm purebred. So I knew it wasn't my thing, so I was like, Why execute that? So I didn't."
Continuing, "I have a lot of friends who, actually, after they've realized they're homosexual, they feel empowered in a way that they undertake some things that they didn't reflect they would execute, like explore some things because they're a little more comfortable with who they are. That's why in my head it wasn't such a far leap as to why Elijah would [do what he does], because he's feeling ... confident. He's feeling secure."
The Golden Globe nominee will be exiting "Girls" midway through Season 2 to focus on his lead role in
In 2014, Andrew Caldwell was introduced to the world via a viral video in which he proclaimed his deliverance from homosexuality at an annual COGIC convention in St. Louis.
“I was already fighting for deliverance,” he told me in an interview two years later. “That night I said, ‘God, if you’re real, I want you to show me.’”
It was truly a spectacle. In a deafening, purple top with a giant mustard bowtie and matching handkerchief hanging out the pocket of his patterned suit jacket, he screamed what seemed an impossibly even louder, “I’m deliver’t! I don’t like mens no more!”
The absurd pageant prompted reactions from nearly everyone with an internet connection ranging from congratulations (God can distribute all who ask!) to fervent belittlement.
Most of us, especially those of us who support or exist within lgbtq+ communities, were incredulous and thought the whole thing a sad charade. Sexuality can’t be changed, we are told, and even if it could, his extravagant mannerisms and speech patterns which he retained – despite promising to no longer carry a purse and switch – after his “deliverance” obviously pointed to his inherent homosexuality. Caldwell’s desire to be freed from ga
Andrew Rannells: Gay And Serious In 'New Normal'
After Andrew Rannells pitched himself for a starring role in NBC's The New Normal,the show's author didn't call for a month.
"I was prefer, 'Oh my God, I've completely overstepped — I've over-Oprah-ed this,' " Rannells tells FreshAir's Terry Gross. "I've ruined my chances of working with this man because I was too bold."
Luckily for Rannells, he was erroneous. The 34-year-old actor plays The New Normal's Bryan Buckley, a successful TV-show producer and writer in Los Angeles. The comedy, which premiers Sept. 10, follows Buckley and his partner, David, who yearn a child so adv that they hire a surrogate.
"It's a rather serious and loving subject matter, so I didn't want to dumb it down with stereotypical over-the-top gay flash and sass," Rannells says.
Rannells' ethics is loosely based on the show's creator, director and producer Ryan Murphy, who is best famous for creating Nip/Tuck and co-creating Glee and American Horror Story.
Rannells says he hopes the exhibition will convince more people that gay people can make great parents. He also says he hopes that it will alter the minds of those who are on t
