I don't think Sir Ian (who once told a crowd "but you can call me Serena!") is exactly closeted, no. Heh.
I think he's a wonderfully gifted actor and do not begrudge him his stance on political or, certainly, religious matters. But I don't like the ripping of other people's property, and his misbegotten comments at what's supposed to be an interview to GET FOLKS TO PAY TO SEE THE MOVIE. Even the most liberal of Hollywood producers would be irritated at him saying this "fiction" stuff THEN and THERE.
LOL, no that's for sure. I wasn't aware he had done that. New one on me.
