Enjoys reading, painting, music, dance, visual arts, gardening and traveling.

He loves animals and takes in stray cats.

Whishaw quote about his personal life, "as an actor you have total rights to privacy and mystery, whatever your sexuality, whatever you do. I don't see why that has to be something you discuss openly because you do something in the public eye. I have no understanding of why we turn actors into celebrities."
