Weāve all been there.
In the new W Magazine Best Performance issue, May December star Natalie Portman revealed a story from her youth that will sound all-too familiar for many of us.
When W asked Portman about her first kiss, she shared that it happened at theater camp, one of the most classic gay first kiss sights.
āAt summer camp, on a dare,ā she said of the kiss. āIt was theater camp, so he came out the next year.ā
Itās a tale as old as time.
Last year, Theater Camp star Ben Platt shared a similar story, but from the other side of the coin. In talking with Rolling Stone about his co-star and co-writer Molly Gordon and their life-long friendship, he also revealed that he came out to her when she confessed to having a crush on him at theater camp.
āShe definitely had a crush on me, she will admit. And I thought I did too. Because when youāre a young gay kid, and youāre obsessed with your girl best friend, youāre like, āThis must be what it means when you like someone,ā he recalled. āBut ultimately, I was very gay, unfortunately. And also fortunately. And Molly had to have an adjustment period of getting over that, which began with her telling everybody that I was gay.ā
Wās Best Performance issue also features Julianne Moore, Colman Domingo, Greta Lee, Ryan Gosling, Robert Downey Jr., Lily Gladstone, Nicolas Cage, Charles Melton, Zac Efron, DaāVine Joy Randolph, Jodie Foster, and Margot Robbie.
