Wentworth Miller has attempted suicide before coming out: "I tried to kill me in 15 years"

Prior to his coming out, Wentworth Miller has been very dark times.

The star of Prison Break , which revealed there is less of a least he was gay, admitted that he had attempted suicide when he was a teenager while trying to accept his sexuality.

When he spoke at the Human Rights Campaign Gala at the Sheraton Seattle Saturday, Miller said he had an overdose of pills a weekend when her parents were away.

"The first time I tried to kill myself, I was 15," he confessed.

"I waited until my parents leave for the weekend, I was home alone and I drank a whole bottle of pills. I do not remember what happened the next two days, but I think on Monday morning, I was in the school bus by claiming that everything was fine. When asked if it was a cry for help, I say no because I have not told to anyone. "

Miller continued: "Growing up, I was a target I had to speak properly, I take it right, I place my wrist as it takes Every day was a challenge and there was a.. thousand ways to fail. A thousand ways not to be up to the expectations of what was acceptable. "

The actor also said he was a little nervous to make his coming out at the beginning of his career. "I had many opportunities to tell the truth, I was gay, but I chose not to do so. I said in private, my family and friends, but in the public eye I was not gay. "

"I chose to lie: when I thought of the possibility of my coming out and the impact it would have on my career and everything I had worked so hard to get, I was terrified."

But Miller overcame his fear end of August, by publicly revealing his sexuality after being invited to go to a film festival in Russia, where "propaganda about non-traditional sex of minors" and public discussion of the rights of gays are prohibited.

Thank you for your kind invitation. Having enjoyed to visit Russia in the past and with myself Russian ancestors, I would have accepted with great pleasure," wrote Wentworth, 41, in a letter to Maria Averbakh , Director of the International Film Festival in St. Petersburg. "However, being gay, I must refuse."

"I am greatly troubled by the resentment and the current treatment of homosexuals by the Russian government men and women,
