It’s been a month since Bryan Singer (X-Men: Days of Future Past) was hit with that now-infamous lawsuit: the director has been accused of sexually assaulting a teenage boy in the 1990s. After immediately denying the allegations, it’s been radio silence ever since. Until now that is.
Out Magazine has released a profile piece on Bryan, featuring an interview conducted shortly before the accusations went public. In it, the 48-year-old spoke candidly about his sexuality.
“I’m quite bisexual,”; Bryan admitted to the publication. “In the last five years, I’ve had two girlfriends—one for two years, one for eight months… In the end, it’s probably going to be a guy. I emotionally lean towards male relationships, so I’m happy to say I’m gay, too, if it’s a one-syllable, easy answer.”;
Bryan also stressed that although he’d never officially be “out,’ he never chose to cover up his relationship with men. “On Usual Suspects, I had a boyfriend on set, and it didn’t even occur to me to not have him be affectionate,”; he noted. “I remember Gabriel Byrne said, ‘I really admire how comfortable and open you are,’ and I thought, “Really?'”;
Bryan declined Out Magazine’s request for additional comments after news of the sexual assault lawsuit came to light.
