Nowadays in Hollywood if you’re a young actor, you almost want there to be rumours that you are gay, as it’s almost become a right of passage and marker that your star is on the rise – after all, it does at least mean people are paying attention to you.
One young man who’s certainly seen his screen status rise this year is Ansel Elgort, thanks to The Fault In Our Stars and Divergent. As a result there have been some people questioning whether he likes boys more than girls (although we have to say it’s not exactly a question that has kept Nobel Laureates awake at night).
The 20-year-old has decided to set the record straight, saying that he is indeed a lady lover, but he’s a modern guy so also wants to ensure he has no problem with the whole gay thing. He tweets:
Just in case it isn't clear… I like girls. A lot.

Also let me say if I was gay I wouldn't hide it. Being gay or straight isn't bad or good it just IS. U are who you are. Be true to yourself.

The young man is actually slated to play gay in a biopic of pianist Van Cliburn, who rose to prominence by winning a music competition in Moscow at the heigh of the Cold War. He also raised a few eyebrows by creating a gayer version of the Fault In Our Stars poster image, alongside Nat Wolff.
