[6] Of the experience, Scott stated, "I was thrilled to be asked. I found it difficult to be in that film. I think I could've just been a bit better.

Personal life

Scott first commented publicly on his homosexuality in an interview with The Independent in November 2013. He stated, "Mercifully, these days people don't see being gay as a character flaw.

[39] Scott was ranked at No. 22 on The Independent's Rainbow List 2014, [40] and No. 4 on the newspaper's Pride List for 2024.
