UK actor Danny Miller, who plays gay on soap ‘Emerdale,” is attacked by two drunken thugs

He’s not gay but he plays a gay character on television.

But apparently this was enough for two drunken idiots to attack Emmerdale star Danny Miller in Manchester after he watched his father – comic Vince Miller – perform a show.

Miller, who is only 19, Tweeted to fans: “I was attacked by a couple of lads tonight but escaped unharmed. I just didn’t want people worrying.”

He later acknowledged that the attack “was Emmerdale related.”

Hoping it won't keep the gay actors playing gay in the closet!
