You might find his face familiar as the character who plays Q in the most recent James Bond films, but some will recognize his voice as the cuddly bear “Paddington.” This British Actor was confirmed to being married to composer Mark Bradshaw, whom he met on the set of Jane Campion’s “Bright Star” in 2009. He exclaimed, “I hadn’t anticipated that they would be, but they were. It takes courage [to come out] and people have to do it in their own time.” In an interview in Out magazine, he expressed how he was afraid to come out for a long time. He added, “It’s hard to have a conversation with people you’ve known your whole life about a very intimate thing. It’s an intimate and private and difficult conversation for most people.”
