Charlie Carver, uno de los gemelos de 'Mujeres desesperadas', sale del armario

Charlie Carver se suma a la lista de estrellas televisivas deseadas que se queda sin poder satisfacer las necesidades del sector femenino. Ya ocurría con otros actores reconocidos como el estadounidense Zachary Quinto ('American Horror Story') o con el fibrado protagonista de 'Prision Break', Wentworth Miller. Al igual que otros compañeros del gremio, el actor americano de 27 años de edad ha declarado públicamente su homosexualidad a través de las redes sociales.

Puede que también recuerdes a Charlie Carver por interpretar a uno de los gemelos traviesos ya adolescentes de Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) en 'Mujeres desesperadas'. No obstante, su salto al estrellato ha venido a raíz de su participación en la serie de MTV 'Teen Wolf' y la exitosa serie de HBO 'The Leftlovers'. Y es que está claro que el 2013 fue el año que marcó un antes y un después en la carrera de Carver.

Pt 1: "Be who you needed when you were younger". About a year ago, I saw this photo while casually scrolling through my Instagram one morning. I'm not one for inspirational quotes, particularly ones attributed to "Mx Anonymous"- something mean in me rebukes the pithiness of proverbs, choosing to judge them as trite instead of possibly-generally-wise, resonant, or helpful. And in the case of the good ol' Anonymous kind, I felt that there was something to be said for the missing context. Who wrote or said the damn words? Why? And to/for who in particular? Nonetheless, I screen-capped the picture and saved it. It struck me for some reason, finding itself likeable enough to join the ranks of the "favorites" album on my phone. I'd see it there almost daily, a small version of it next to my other "favorites"; I'd see it every time I checked into the gym, pulled up a picture of my insurance cards, my driver's license.... Important Documents. And over the course of about-a-year, it became clear why the inspirational photo had called out to me. As a young boy, I knew I wanted to be an actor. I knew I wanted to be a lot of things! I thought I wanted to be a painter, a soccer player, a stegosaurus... But the acting thing stuck. It was around that age that I also knew, however abstractly, that I was different from some of the other boys in my grade. Over time, this abstract "knowing" grew and articulated itself through a painful gestation marked by feelings of despair and alienation, ending in a climax of saying three words out loud: "I am gay". I said them to myself at first, to see how they felt. They rang true, and I hated myself for them. I was twelve. It would take me a few years before I could repeat them to anyone else, in the meantime turning the phrase over and over in my mouth until I felt comfortable and sure enough to let the words pour out again, this time to my family...
