Top Gun’s Kelly McGillis Finally Admits She’s a Lesbian
Top Gun actress Kelly McGillis has confirmed Hollywood’s worst kept secret – she is a lesbian. The 51-year-old, who played Tom Cruise’s love interest in the film about a fighter pilot training school, has long been the subject of rumours but always denied being gay. The actress, who is single, ‘came out’ in an interview with lesbian website SheWired.com:
In no uncertain terms McGillis responded that what she is looking for is “definitely a woman.” McGillis, a long-rumored lesbian who starred on The L Word as a closeted Army Colonel trying a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell case added that she is “done with the man thing.” She said she is “done with that, and needs to move on in life, and that’s another part of being true to yourself.” It has been a challenge personally for her, she added.
