‘Parks and Recreation’ actress Rashida Jones was promoting her new movie ‘Celeste and Jesse Forever’ when the conversation turned to celebs coming out of the closet.
Jones and her writing partner and former boyfriend Will McCormack were chatting it up with SpinningPlatters.com when the interviewer asked, “How’s the Frank Ocean obsession coming along?”
She was reportedly thrilled when he acknowledged in a July letter to his fans that he is a homosexual. Jones gushed, “I just love him, he is so great.”
McCormack chimed in: “There needs to be, like, a professional athlete that comes out.”
Rashida added, “And a movie star! It’s time…Like John Travolta? Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this.”
Clearly pleased when Anderson Cooper and Neil Patrick Harris stepped out, she added: “Big stars need to come out. Ricky Martin was huge. That was big; I was really happy about that.”
The outspoken daughter of music icon Quincy Jones does understand why some remain in the shadows, “People are so precious about their careers.”
