'How to Train Your Dragon' character Gobber comes out as gay
'How to Train Your Dragon 2' has a big reveal about one particular character.
In the animated sequel, burly Viking Gobber, voiced by comedian Craig Ferguson, comes out of the closet in a subtle way.
The film features Gobber watching a husband and wife bickering and mentions that that's why he never got married. And, he says, one other reason.
The film's openly gay director Dean DeBlois confirmed that the subtle hint was, indeed, Gobber coming out.
'When we were recording Craig Ferguson, I had written the line, 'This is why I never got married,' and he, as he often does, added it as an ad lib and he said, 'Yup, Gobber is coming out of the closet,' DeBlois told E! News at the Cannes film festival. 'I think that's a really fun and daring move to put in. I love the idea that Gobber is Berk's resident gay.'
