Alan Cumming is tired of discussing his sexuality
The L Word and Good Wife star was married to actress Hilary Lyon for seven years before getting hitched to current husband Grant Shaffer in 2007.
In his new autobiography he seldom refers to the fact he married a woman before marrying a man.
Opening up to the Independent about the book, he said: “Some people have said about the book: ‘He doesn’t mention that he was first married to a woman and then married to a man. But that’s not what this book is about… it’s not about me being bisexual.
“I get a little tired of everything – if I was straight, you wouldn’t think that I should make references to the fact that I was straight, so it just feels a little bit double standard-y.
“The whole bisexual thing keeps coming up, and I just think that, eventually, hopefully, we’ll all live in a world where we don’t talk about it as much and just get on with it.”
The actor was recently linked to a TV show based on the life of AIDS activist Florent Morellet.
The series is about the New York meatpacking district, and the real Morellet will reportedly advise Cumming on the role.
