Add one more actor to the "Stars coming out 2014" list as Kristian Nairn or better known as "Hodor" in the smash hit HBO series, "The Game of Thrones" announced that he is gay and not only that, he wanted to come out a long time ago but no one asked him about it.

In a new interview with Game of Thrones fan site Winter Is Coming, actor Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor, says that he is gay.

His announcement came when Kristian Nairn was asked by the interviewer if he was aware that he supposedly has a large following of "bears" in the LGBT community.

"Well, in all honesty, when you talk about 'the gay community,' you are talking about MY community, I AM aware of it yeah, and I think it's really lovely. There's not a day that I don't get a few messages, but 99% or more are super sweet and nothing smutty at all! Again, it's a privilege, and I really mean that. I've never hidden my sexuality from anyone, my whole life in fact, and I've been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview, cos it's not something you just blurt out. I've tried to lead the questions a few times, to no avail!"

The actor went on to say that he isn't afraid to hide who he truly is. "I had an upbringing to respect other people's privacy, and their right to be and choose what they want, and I expect, no, demand no less for myself. It's a very small part of who I am on the whole, but nonetheless, in this day and age, it's important to stand up and be counted. I have and always will stand my ground. So, yeah, people have been great, on the show, but I don't see why it would be an issue (within the Game of Thrones' production)."
