  Is Sylvester McCoy secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Sylvester McCoy is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Sylvester McCoy (Doctor Who, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 82nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

McCoy, a cultural icon

Born Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith in Dunoon on August 20, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Scottish history. McCoy'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 Sylvester hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sylvester McCoy as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 82.

Happy Birthday, Sylvester, you're the best!
