  Is Ben Chaplin secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Ben Chaplin is celebrating his 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Ben Chaplin (Dorian Gray, The Thin Red Line, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Chaplin, a cultural icon

Born Benedict John Greenwood in London on July 31, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Chaplin's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ben hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ben Chaplin as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 56.

Happy Birthday, Ben, you're the best!
