"Mind Control" host Derren Brown reads our minds & comes out

Derren Brown, the UK illusionist, hypnotist, mentalist, and star of the tv series Mind Control, has publicly come out as gay. From the article:

"Coming out when you are in the public eye is one of those things that isn't an issue to yourself, your friends or your family,' he says. 'But you have to make a statement about it. You have to be open and up front – or you end up turning it into a dark secret in your mind.'

While Brown has made mention of his sexuality in passing in interviews in the past, this is the most prominently and extensively he's discussed the topic. He also states that he's been with his current partner for a year, but wants to keep him out of the public eye. Hmm ... personally, I don't think I could ever be his boyfriend. I can just imagine having an argument over who has to take out the trash or clean out the litter box, and him waving one of those spinning disc things in front of my face to "convince" me to do it. No thanks.

But congratulations to Derren for coming out, and after the break, you can see the most awesome stunt he has ever pulled. In fact, it's the most awesome stunt anyone anywhere has ever pulled (of course, the victim in the stunt might not think so, but it's nothing that years of therapy can't fix). It's called Zombie Arcade, and if you're a zombie freak like me, it would be a dream (or nightmare) come true.

Warning: being that this is British television, there's some NSFW language for us Statesters.
