The Irishman, who starred as the"hot priest" in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's comedy-drama, addresses being referred to as"openly gay".Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott were recently reunited at the British GQ Men of the Year Awards 2019Fleabag actor Andrew Scott has said being referred to as an"openly gay" actor implies a defiance that he does not feel.
The Irishman, who attracted a new legion of fans as the"hot priest" in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's comedy-drama, said the term does not reflect who he is. The 42-year-old told British GQ magazine:"You're never described as openly gay at a party - 'This is my openly gay friend Darren', 'She's openly Irish'. It implies a defiance I don't feel."Scott, who first found fame as villain Jim Moriarty in Sherlock, said it was perfectly feasible for a gay actor to create the required on-screen chemistry when acting a straight relationship.
"Sexuality isn't something you can cultivate, particularly," he said."It isn't a talent... You believe the relationship, that's my job."The Dublin-born actor added that his great love is theatre, after completing a run of Noel Coward's Present Laughter at the Old Vic. He said:"You direct yourself. Of course there's a director, but in the auditorium, if you feel the audience is getting a little coughy, you've got to think 'Well, it's my job to get them back'."
