It Got Better for Wentworth Miller

Former "Prison Break" hunk Wentworth Miller -- who came out publicly last month after "choosing to lie" when he began his career in Hollywood -- revealed details over the weekend of his struggle with his sexuality. The Daily News reports:

Speaking at the Human's Right Campaign Dinner in Seattle on Saturday, Miller, 41, confessed that he tried to commit suicide "more than once," as he struggled to understand his sexuality. The actor admits the first time he tried to kill himself was at 15 years old, speaking to an audience in a video obtained by TMZ. "I waited until my family went away for the weekend and I was alone in the house and I swallowed a bottle of pills," he said. "I don't remember what happened over the next couple of days but I'm pretty sure come Monday morning I was on the bus back to school pretending everything was fine." "Growing up I was a target. Speaking the right way, standing the right way, holding your wrist the right way. Every day was a test and there was a thousand ways to fail." The actor says he was 15 the first time, when he "swallowed a bottle of pills." 

The actor said he "chose to lie" when he began a career in Hollywood. "When I thought about the possibility of coming out, how that might impact me and the career I worked so hard for, I was filled with fear." Eventually, Miller broke his silence with the letter declining an invitation to the Russian festival, openly slamming the country's rule banning "homosexual propaganda." 

Sad, but not atypical. Things have improved, but the suicides continue all too often. Here's hoping I live to this become the exception not the rule. Watch HERE.

Miller's Crossing

"Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller -- long rumored to be gay -- officially came out of the closet today, in a letter to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival declining an invitation to appear there.

Via GLAAD:

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. 

GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz later said:

"Wentworth's bold show of support sends a powerful message to LGBT Russians: you are not alone. "As people from across the globe continue to speak out against this horrific law, more celebrities and corporations should follow his courageous lead in openly condemning Russia's anti-LGBT law."

It's great to have another out gay actor on the scene. Pity he waited till he was fat and unemployed to do it instead of when he was starring on a huge television series!

Wentworth Miller Does L'Officiel Hommes

So I picked up the Cool Issue of L'Officiel Hommes over the weekend so I could post these smokin' hot photos of "Prison Break" stud Wentworth Miller, only to find out many of them had been widely circulated earlier in the year. The solution? Use the hard-to-scan two-page photos that nobody bothered to post ...

For those who missed them, the others, plus two new ones, are after the jump. --->
