《花花公子》男星出柜：我喜欢的不是兔女郎

                
                
            还记的经典美剧《萤火虫 Firefly》中那个笑起来萌死人的医生Simon吗？他的扮演者肖恩·马希尔 Sean Maher近日在接受美国娱乐周刊采访上公开出柜，承认了自己的同性恋身份。
                
                
           现年36岁的肖恩·马希尔 Sean Maher是一位深受大家喜爱的美剧演员，因为《萤火中 Firefly》 (及其衍生电影《冲出宁静号》Serenity)中的角色而被大家熟知，曾出演过短命剧《Ryan Caulfield: Year One》、电影《婚礼如战场》等。他的最新角色是在NBC新剧《花花公子俱乐部 The Playboy Club》中出演与他同名的“柜中”花花公子Sean——后者与一位女同性恋结婚以掩盖其真实性取向。肖恩表示在扮演这一角色过程中，一定程度上帮助自己作出了出柜的决定。
                
                
           在采访中，肖恩谈及了为什么到现在才出柜——出道时，他的经纪人和经理曾双双告诫他为了演艺事业不要公开自己的同性恋身份，年少无知的他只有浑浑噩噩的顺从，而现在随着岁月的历练，让他明白了很多，特别是完美的家庭（相处了9年的伴侣Paul和两个孩子）给他的鼓励，整个采访感情真挚，肖恩出柜后心态释然。
           希望以后可以在更多的影视作品中看到他，喜欢他的朋友可以NBC新剧《花花公子俱乐部》中一睹他的风采。
                
                
                
                 
           以下是他的原话，我稍后会为大家带来翻译：
     
           I've never discussed it publicly…I've never been asked about it publicly, but I would be lying if I said I didn't paint a different picture.
           I'm 22, I move to L.A., and it's such a cliché, but the day I arrive, publicists from the show took me out to The Ivy for lunch…They're telling me, "You know, gosh, we'd really appreciate it if you could keep your girlfriend on the side because we want to appeal to the female demographic of the show." …At that moment, I didn't think to say, "Oh, I’m gay," because right before I left New York (where he went to college at NYU), I had my manager tell me: "You need to get a girl on your arm or people will start talking." I remember telling him: "I’m gay." He had no idea. And he said: "All the more reason to get a girl on your arm." My agent was also like, "It’s best if you keep your options open. Maybe bisexual?"
           It was so exhausting, and I was so miserable. I didn’t really have any life other than work and this façade I was putting on. So I kept my friends from college [where he was out] separate from my work friends, and that was very confusing. I just kept going on and on painting this picture of somebody I wasn’t. I didn’t have time for a personal relationship anyway. And you just don’t realize that it’s eating away at your soul.
        我从未公开讨论过，也从未有人公开问过我，但如果我不能对此澄清，我就是在撒谎。
　　
　　我22岁那年搬去洛杉矶——是的，又是个老生常谈的经历——但是那天我刚到这里，节目宣传人员带我去长春藤吃饭（名人常光顾的著名高级餐馆），他们告诉我，“你知道的，我们很希望你能不时有个姑娘在身边，这样会增加节目女性观众群……”就在那一刻，我没说“哦，我是同性恋”。因为离开纽约之前（他曾在纽约大学上学），我的经理曾说过：“你最好有个女朋友，不然人们会闲言闲语。”我记得当时我坦白说“我是同性恋”，而他之前对此完全不知情。接着他说：“那么，你更需要一个女伴喽”。我的经纪人也一样反应：“最好别表现得那么绝对。不然，你说你是双性恋怎么样？”
　　
　　这一切让我太费神了，也很痛苦。好像除了装门面，我再无其他工作。所以在大学朋友和我工作伙伴之间，我一直保持两者不相遇，这让人很是迷糊。我一直这样，扮演一个我根本不是他的家伙。我甚至都没时间与人保持恋情关系。而我都没意识到，这种面具生活正在吞噬自己的灵魂。
