Bryan Singer, Gay? Actually, the 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director is 'quite bisexual,' according to an interview he gave to Out magazine before his scandal saying he sexually abused teenaged Michael Egan over 10 years ago.

Bryan Singer never "officially" came out. "I came out by osmosis." Singer skipped being asked or having to make a statement. He talks about working on the set of the Usual Suspects, saying "On Usual Suspects, I had a boyfriend on set, and it didn't even occur to me to not have him be affectionate," he says. "I remember Gabriel Byrne said, 'I really admire how comfortable and open you are,' and I thought, Really?"

Singer then added, "I'm quite bisexual. In the last five years, I've had two girlfriends-one for two years, one for eight months... In the end, it's probably going to be a guy. I emotionally lean towards male relationships, so I'm happy to say I'm gay, too, if it's a one-syllable, easy answer."

The director then said, "My sexuality is not what is tearing me up inside. I'm in love and he doesn't love me back and it's killing me. I need relationship advice! I've never felt the need to be declarative [about my sexuality]."

The interview to Out magazine is notable because it was conducted just prior to allegations that the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" director had sexually assaulted a teenage boy named Michael Egan in the late 1990s. Egan's lawyer Jeff Herman also claims that Singer gave the teenager drugs and alcohol and flew him to Hawaii more than once in 1999. Singer has denied the accusations, issuing a statement that said in part, "the allegations against me are outrageous, vicious and completely false."

The day after Ellen Page, who has a major role in the new X-Men film, spoke about being gay for the first time at a Human Rights Campaign Foundation conference, she met Singer in Montreal for reshoots. Singer said about Page, "She just seemed so much happier and relaxed and talkative to the point where we all said, 'Ellen, you seem to be kind of glowing.'"
