In a new interview with the Sunday Times published this week, the actor discussed his years in the general eye before coming out. “I ponder it’s down to every single person to do what’s right for them,” he said. “For me, it’s improved to be out.”
“I’m definitely happier," he said on his decision to travel public. "I think of days when I wasn’t out and that was a more stressful and unhappy position.”
“So I’m grateful that’s over and also grateful that we dwell in a world where it’s not a shameful thing.”

He's almost out (fully?) and has hinted at it on a rare occasion. Very great actor but a bad choice for Bright Star.

It was talked about quite a bit here on DL when the first season of The Hour was airing.
Of course we discuss about everyone being gay, but I think in this case it was pretty clear cut.

I don't tend whether he's gay or not. All I care about is that he's beautiful especially as Sebastian in Brideshead Revisted.

Not when Matthew Goode is on the screen R4.
I haven't watched the super definitive mini series (remember clips of it as it was repeated ad infinitum and gave me an early taste of homosexuality), but that abridged version was nice enough.

My friend used to date him. He dumped him once he establish a bit of fame. It was pretty tragic.
Ben Whishaw Says the Way His Bond Character&#;s Gay Identity Was Addressed Was &#;Unsatisfying&#;
When No Moment to Die was released last year, actor Ben Whishaw made history as the first person to portray an openly gay main character in a James Bond movie, thanks to a brief scene in the film in which his character Q is seen cooking dinner and preparing for a date with a man. But in a new interview with The Guardian, Whishaw admitted that the way the reveal of his character&#;s sexual orientation was handled was a bit &#;unsatisfying.&#;
The revelation about Q&#;s sexuality was limited to one sentence, in which he references his date&#;s gender by saying, &#;He&#;ll be here in 20 minutes,&#; after being interrupted at his home by Bond and Moneypenny. It&#;s never addressed further in the film, and some fans felt as though it was a way for the studio to earn credit for including a gay character without fully committing to it, limiting it to one tossed-off line that could be easily edited out for foreign markets.

The talented British actor is a veteran in the theater community, but most people know him as the voice actor behind &#;Paddington Bear&#; in Paddington and &#;Q&#; from Daniel Craig&#;s James Bond films Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time to Die.

For years in the s to the early s, Whishaw evaded questions about his sexuality–not that he owed anyone any explanation. In fact, when he was asked by The Telegraph about his personal life, he said:
&#;For me, it&#;s important to keep a level of anonymity. As an actor, your job is to persuade people that you&#;re someone else. So if you&#;re constantly telling people about yourself, I think you&#;re shooting yourself in the foot.&#;
