Ian McKellen talks coming out

In an interview with fellow high-profile gay Anderson Cooper, Ian McKellen, 73, star of The Hobbit, discusses coming out and the oppression he faced as a young queer living in the UK.

“I’ve never met a gay person who regrets coming out,” McKellen said.

Cooper’s talk show will cease production soon, but don’t despair: set your PVR to record his annual New Year’s Eve coverage on CNN with Kathy Griffin.
