Titanic actor Victor Garber marries model boyfriend
The actor has announced his marriage to his long-term partner.
Victor Garber – whose credits also include the TV series Alias and the Academy Award-winning film Argo – has finally tied the knot with his partner of 16 years, model and artist Rainer Andreesen.
The wedding took place over the weekend in British Columbia – according to Andreesen’s Instagram page.
Both men hail from Canada but divide their time between New York and Los Angeles.
Garber is has for his numerous roles in projects like Titanic and Smash.
He came out to journalist Greg Hernandez two years ago when asked about his relationship status.
When questioned about an entry on his Wikipedia page which said that he lived in New York with his partner of thirteen years, the actor confirmed that it was true.
He said: “I don’t really talk about it, but everybody knows. He’s going to be out here with me for the [Screen Actors Guild] Awards.”
Andreesen has a successful career as a model – as well as a portrait painter. His subjects have included actor Bradley Cooper, and music impresario Clive Davis.
Fellow gay actor Matt Bomer yesterday said he was ‘optimistic’ about the future of openly gay actors in Hollywood.
Bomer – who has seen his own star steadily rise since coming out in 2012 – said he is “amazed” at how open Hollywood is to out and proud actors and actresses.
“I think it’s great,” Bomer said.
“It’s amazing what I’ve seen happen, especially in the past five years,” he told Details Magazine.
He also praised the younger generation and their relationship with sexuality, who he says are much more open-minded – and more concerned with a person’s skills than who they are sexually attracted to.
Hollywood actor Matt Damon last week made controversial comments suggesting that gay actors do better if they hide their sexual orientation.
Damon made the comments about fellow actor Rupert Everett, suggesting he was less successful because he came out as gay.
