#TopStoryTuesday : Wentworth Miller Attempted Suicide Before Coming Out

Wentworth Miller, who revealed he is gay less than a month ago, confessed that he tried to commit suicide multiple times as a teenager while struggling to come to terms with his sexuality.

Let's go back a bit.

This 41-year old actor and Prison Break star came 'Out' as gay to the public by declining an invitation from the director St. Petersburg International Film Festival to attend the event as a guest of honor.

He wrote in his letter:

Dear Ms. Averbakh: 

Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. 

However, as a gay man, I must decline. 

I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government. The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.

Perhaps, when and if circumstances improve, I’ll be free to make a different choice.

Until then.

Wentworth Miller

Tasty Crushie Tuesday: Wentworth Miller (During PRISON BREAK days)

Wentworth Earl Miller III (born June 2, 1972) is an American actor, model, screenwriter and producer. He rose to stardom following his role as Michael Scofield in the Fox Network television series Prison Break. He made his screenwriting debut with the 2013 dramatic thriller film Stoker, which stars Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska.

In 2007, Miller denied to InStyle magazine that he was gay. He publicly came out as gay in August 2013, when he posted a letter on GLAAD's website declining an invitation to attend the Saint Petersburg International Film Festival because he felt "deeply troubled" by the Russian government's treatment of its gay citizens, referring to anti-LGBT legislation enacted the previous June banning "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations." Miller wrote, "I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly."
