John Barrowman flashes in the British press quite often - in connection with rumors of a new appearance in Doctor Who, the resumption of Torchwood, and other projects (including theater). The same cannot be said of his husband. Scott R. Gill is an architect, and finding information about him that is not related to his relationship with Barrow is difficult, but we tried.
Scott Gill: biography
Sheridan Scott Robert Gill was born on April 2, 1963 (by the way, the first season of the classic Doctor Who was released the same year) in England. Some sources claim that the man is a Scot. This confusion is due to Scott's partner, John Barrowman, from Scotland.
There is a sister (she died in 2005 from brain cancer). Married to John Barrowman (since 2013).
Gill is 54 years old, according to the horoscope - Aries.
Occupation
An architect by profession, Scott works by profession. He also has one acting role in the miniseries The Making of Me (2008).
Character
Husband calls Scott touchy-feely, which means "one who likes to show feelings in public." In addition, Gill is a little sentimental: on the design of a civil partnership with Barrowman, the man even wept.
By character, Scott Gill is an introvert and romantic.
Personal life
As Gill himself says, he learned early about his homosexuality, but also understood early that it was a “terrifying thought” for the world. "There were no role models in the 70s other than Danny La Rue and Larry Grayson. Being gay then is like being a leper."
Scott Gill told his parents about his orientation when he lived separately from them and "left them alone with this." However, they received the news well. John Barrowman was the first guy Scott had brought to meet his parents, and they immediately liked him.
Relationship with Barrowman
John Barrowman and Scott Gill met in 1993, after a performance at the beginning of which the actor played naked. According to the couple, both thought that each of them was dating a friend who brought Gill to the play. After this episode, the guys accidentally ran into each other for a year, but were shy about greeting them. “I didn’t want him to think that I was flirting. Although I was not averse to really doing this,” says Barrowman.
A year later, the guys met again at the premiere of the show "Sunset Boulevard", where they found out that they were both single. So their relationship began.
"It's amazing, because usually when people fall in love, reciprocity doesn’t appear right away," Gill says.
Today the couple have been together for 24 years. On December 27, 2006 in Cardiff (Great Britain), after 13 years of relationship, they entered into a civil partnership, despite the fact that at the end of 2005 John announced that they were not going to do this. The ceremony was attended by families of partners, as well as Russell T. Davis (executive producer of Doctor Who) and the Torchwood crew. During this period, the couple avoided calling their relationship a marriage and did not intend to get married according to the laws of a religion that "hates gays."
However, on July 2, 2013, in California, USA, John Barrowman and Scott Gill officially married. The now married couple has no children yet, although John says he would like to have them.
Both argue that relationships are work, but they are happy with each other and will go through all obstacles.
