In a revealing interview with Vanity Fair, Nathan Lane discusses the ongoing struggles against homophobia in Hollywood, citing the negative impact it has had on his career. Despite his breakout role in 'The Birdcage', he faced closed doors due to his openness about his sexuality. Lane recounted a missed opportunity for a role in 'Space Jam', where the director deemed him 'too gay'. He expresses gratitude for roles provided by Ryan Murphy, yet yearns for a significant film role before his career concludes.
Homophobia is alive and well still.
I gave up long ago trying to pursue it.
Before I die, it would be lovely to get to play a juicy, serious supporting role in some film.
If they give me a chance, I seem to do well but you have to get the part.
