Andrew Scott on Elsinore, coming out and being 'so grateful to have been born gay'

Andrew Scott says he is 'so grateful to have been born gay' in an Out interview tied to his new film Elsinore, in which he plays the closeted actor Ian Charleson. Scott, who has a producer credit on the film, describes it as a labor of love about Charleson performing Hamlet at London's National Theatre while secretly dying of an AIDS-related illness, and he pushes back on the idea that he came out late, saying he had already been out and that privacy differs from secrecy. Elsinore opens in theaters beginning November 20.
