Nathan Lane recently shared the heartfelt advice he received from Robin Williams when it came to discussing his sexuality in public. The two actors starred in the comedic masterpiece ‘The Birdcage’ back in 1996, portraying a gay couple navigating through hilarious situations. Lane revealed that even though he had come out to his friends, he struggled to reveal his truth to the world due to the fear of judgement. Despite marching in Pride Parades in his youth, Lane kept his sexuality private until he felt ready. However, as he took on more gay roles, the topic began to surface. During a speech at the Critics Choice Association event, Lane opened up about a missed opportunity to embrace his truth with Oprah Winfrey, opting to deflect the question about his personal life. Looking back, he wished he had been more courageous to speak openly about his identity. Join Nathan Lane on his journey to self-acceptance and authenticity in the entertainment industry.
