'Skyfall' actor Ben Whishaw does not believe his acting roles will become limited now after coming out as gay.

The 33-year-old actor, famous for playing gadget wizard Q in James Bond movie, revealed last year that he was homosexual and was in a civil partnership with Australian composer Mark Bradshaw, reported Contactmusic.

Asked whether he worries about being pigeon-holed, Ben said, "It's not a consideration for me, because gay characters are as varied and different as heterosexual characters. I've played all sorts of different people, so I don't see the need to balance them out."

Whishaw says he never considers the sexuality of a character before accepting a role, explaining that his only real concern is whether the storyline is any good.
 

"It's only worth doing anything if you believe in the story and the experience, there's nothing else to think about," he said.
