With two major projects spearheading in early 2024, many people might be wondering if Andrew Scott has a partner. The Fleabag actor recently opened up about why he kept his life away from the limelight and why people in the industry tried to keep his sexuality private.
Scott grew up in Dublin, Ireland, and talked to GQ about how his upbringing affected how he expressed himself. “There was so much of me that was quite fearful, actually, and ignoring that side of me,” he says. “What’s difficult sometimes for gay people is that you don’t get to experience this sort of adolescence where you go, ‘Oh, my God, I like that person, do they like me back?’”
When the actor starred in All of Us Strangers, he revisited and reflected on those feelings. “I think that’s maybe why this feels so gratifying and cathartic,” he says. “Because I did have to bring so much of my own pain into it.”
The Ripley actor also revealed that industry people told him to not talk about his sexuality. “I was encouraged, by people in the industry who I really admired and who had my best interests at heart, to keep that [to myself],” he says. “I understand why they gave that advice, but I’m also glad that I eventually ignored it.”
Scott came out in an interview with The Independent when he starred in BBC’s Sherlock but had some lingering thoughts about it. “Sometimes I find the prurient nature of the way we talk about it a little bit exhausting,” he says. “It’s both very important to talk about and sometimes I feel like I wish we didn’t [end] up talking about it.”

Stephen Beresford (2001 - 2019)

At the time of their breakup, Scott talked about relationship dynamics on the How To Fail podcast. “Sometimes having casual sex with people is what you need to do. It’s really important… You learn from people. It’s not about the length of time you spend with somebody.”
He continued, “My life is different now. I feel like my attitude towards relationships and my attitude towards myself and sexuality and all that stuff has changed, and that came about from having the courage to be on my own for a bit, quite a scary thing to do.”

“Our job as actors is to build, to service this extraordinary, amazing relationship that Andrew [Haigh] created, and it was really, really easy for us to do that,” Scott told Out about his chemistry with Mescal. “I think both of us are really interested in playing romantic love. I think it’s something that we both really take pleasure in acting, so it was very, very, very easy for both of us.”
