Ben Whishaw (born 1980) is an actor. He was born and brought up in Clifton, Bedfordshire.
He played Sebastian Flyte in the 2008 film of Brideshead Revisited and Q in the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall.
In August 2013 he had a representative confirm that he had entered into a civil partnership with his Australian composer partner Mark Bradshaw in 2012. In 2011, he had said in an interview with Out Magazine:
- "As an actor you have total rights to privacy and mystery, whatever your sexuality, whatever you do. I don't see why that has to be something you discuss openly because you do something in the public eye. I have no understanding of why we turn actors into celebrities."[1]
Whishaw received his third BAFTA Award nomination for the leading role in London Spy (2015) and, for his portrayal of Norman Scott (Jeremy Thorpe's lover) in the mini series A Very English Scandal (2018)
