Last year Patrick talked to press about his longtime friend, who is openly gay, and the uniqueness of their bond- “There are so many parallels in our careers and our lives. We’re both Northerners; He’s a Lancastrian and I’m a Yorkist, and he went to a great University but I left school when I was 15. But he was successful and became a star immediately. I saw him and I was amazed, overwhelmed by the quality of his work. I started our relationship as a fan. Bryan Singer cast us in the first X-Men movie and we had adjoining luxury trailers… We got to know one another and that’s when the bond began.”
