Outlander star John Bell is about to play a gay character for the first time – and he can’t wait.
It’s safe to say that John Bell has never exactly been starved of opportunities. The Scottish actor started his career as a child star, making a name for himself in The Hobbit. Since 2017, he’s been making waves on Outlander, the historical series that just keeps getting more and more popular.
He is just 24 years old and he already has a legion of fans across the world – but somehow, he’s never had the chance to play a gay character. That’s why he jumped at the opportunity to take on The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me, the acclaimed one-man show that’s been taking audiences on a whirlwind tour of LGBT+ rights and history since it debuted in 1992.
