- 6 years ago
Dominic Cooper thinks "old-fashioned attitudes" towards gay actors still "linger" in Hollywood.
The 40-year-old star has admitted to being saddened by some of the attitudes that still exist within the movie business.
He shared: "It still seems prohibitive. People [feel] nervous because of the old-fashioned attitudes that linger. It makes me so sad. We're making slow changes and I hope that we're becoming more fluid with our thinking.”
Dominic also drew a parallel between the film industry and those in the sporting world.
Speaking to Attitude magazine, he explained: "Look at sports personalities who don't feel confident or comfortable enough to do it. A life not being who you can be must be very difficult."
