Chris Pine Talks Zachary Quinto's Coming Out

Quinto came out in 2011 in an interview with New York magazine, and the This Means War star remembers feeling honored to call the AHS actor a friend. 

"So happy for him, oh man, I thought it was rad," he admits. "It was really, really cool. He did it on his own time, on his own schedule. And Jonathan [Groff], who he's dating, is such a lovely man. He's a good guy and a great actor, and they make a fantastic couple. I couldn't have been happier for Zach."

Sounds like Pine's a pretty stand-up guy. And not only is he comfortable with his friend's homosexuality, but he's also cool with going gay for the right role. 

"Right now I just want to play good roles, and if the role happens to be a gay man, that's not of any import other than is it a good story? Does it say something that's interesting?" he muses before adding. "All it really takes is the fact that the man isn't going home to his wife, but has a boyfriend at home. I think it would be a wonderful thing to see."
