Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

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."

Go Underwater With James Bond In New Skyfall Video Blog
We have reached a very important anniversary in the history of film. October 5th, 2012, which is this Friday, celebrates the 50 years since the release of Dr. No, the James Bond movie starring Sean Connery that launched one of the longest lasting, successful franchises of all time.
And while Skyfall, the 23rd entry in the series, isn't out until November, 007 is already leaking into the public consciousness thanks to the big day. Last Tuesday saw Bond 50 - the Blu-ray/DVD box set that collects all 22 titles into one package for the first time ever - sent into theaters; it was recently confirmed that Adele will be singing the theme song of the new movie (a song called, you guessed it, "Skyfall"); and we learned that Skyfall will be arriving in IMAX theaters one day early so that the die hard fans will be rewarded for seeing the film in its best presentation. And now we have a brand new video blog from the set that takes us not to a new exotic location, but, rather, under water.
Head behind the scenes of the new Bond movie below. Read More
