When in 2011 Zachary Quinto finally decided to go public and speak about his homosexuality, maybe some people were surprised but Chris Pine knew it all along and he was very proud of his friend and colleague for coming out.

Chris told Out magazine: ”So happy for him, oh man, I thought it was rad. It was really, really cool. He did it on his own time, on his own schedule. And Jonathan, 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.”

Chris knew his friend’s secret long before he decided to make it public but he kept it to himself and never pressured him to come out. ”It was just who Zach was and that’s that. I’m sensitive, and I don’t ever want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Knowing that for Zach it was more about a career thing and that he was not comfortable at the time coming out–it was fine. It was something that we kind of tiptoed around and I just took it was a given, because that’s what he wanted,” Pine explained.
