Headline: Ben Whishaw calls out Hollywood 'homophobia and hatred'
Caption: The Black Doves star claimed gay actors must "conform" if they want professional success, telling The Guardian he was one of few openly out performers in the industry. There were "not very many" actors in his field, Ben, 45, said, explaining he believed this was because Hollywood struggled to make sense of non-heterosexual stories. "It's complicated and probably different for every individual, but I think it's still something to do with the fact that if you want to be really successful, you have to conform to what is deemed to be heterosexual taste, or something. Or be sexy in a heterosexual way."
