American actor Kate Winslet has opened up about a stigma in Hollywood that can create obstacles for gay actors and said that she knows "at least four" actors "hiding their sexuality" due to `homophobia` in the industry. According to People magazine, during a recent interview, the Academy Award-winning actor said, "I cannot tell you the number of young actors I know, some well-known, some starting out, who are terrified their sexuality will be revealed and that it will stand in the way of their being cast in straight roles. Now that`s f***ed up."
She further said, "I`m telling you. A well-known actor has just got an American agent and the agent said, `I understand you are bisexual. I wouldn`t publicise that.` I can think of at least four actors absolutely hiding their sexuality. It`s painful. Because they fear being found out. And that`s what they say. `I don`t want to be found out.`" Winslet also noted that the stigma applies to "men more than anything" and added: "It`s bad news, Hollywood has to drop that dated crap of, `Can he play straight because, apparently, he`s gay?` "
