‘Dexter’ Star Michael C. Hall Says He’s Not ‘All the Way Heterosexual’

Michael C. Hall is getting candid about his sexual orientation.

In a new interview with The Daily Beast, the 47-year-old actor revealed that he’s “not all the way heterosexual” even though “as a rule I am heterosexual.”

The topic came up while Hall discussed some of his past roles as prominent LGBTQ characters, including David in Six Feet Under and two iconic Broadway parts: the Emcee in Cabaret and Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

“I think there’s a spectrum,” Hall said. “I am on it. I’m heterosexual. But if there was a percentage, I would say I was not all the way heterosexual.”

“I think playing the emcee required me to fling a bunch of doors wide open because that character I imagined as pansexual,” he added. “Yeah, I made out with Michael Stuhlbarg every night doing that show. I think I have always leaned into any fluidity in terms of my sexuality.”

Asked if he had ever been attracted to a man, Hall said he felt that was toward John Cameron Mitchell when he saw the director and actor in Hedwig, but “as a rule, I am heterosexual.”

That doesn’t mean he hasn’t been “craving for emotional intimacy with a man.” The feeling stems from the death of his father when he was just 11.

“I’ve never had an intimate relationship with a man. I think, maybe because of an absent father, there has been craving for emotional intimacy with a man,” Hall told The Daily Beast. “I don’t mean to suggest that an emotional relationship between a father and son is homoerotic. I mean an emotional intimacy or connection that, at least in the milieu I grew up in, was considered fey. I had an appetite to have emotional connections with men beyond beer, sports, and fist-pumping that were considered ‘gay.'”

Hall is married to Morgan MacGregor, whom he wed in February 2016. He has had two previous marriages: one to Dexter co-star Jennifer Carpenter (from 2008 to 2011) and another to actress Amy Spanger (from 2002 to 2007). – Source
