When Jodie Foster walked on to the stage at the 2013 Golden Globes few people knew that she would actively come out as a gay woman. The 50 year old actress made waves when she openly alluded to her sexual orientation for the first time. But Foster is far from the first actor to come out in the limelight.

Ellen Degeneres came out on Oprah

Neil Patrick Harris came out in People Magazine.

Lance Bass came out in People as well.
