A very popular prime time television hunk is said to have been diagnosed with HIV some time ago and is keeping his condition a secret! The actor, who is said to be a household name, has kept the real status of his health condition just like Charlie Sheen, an article from the Daily Star Online revealed.
News of the diagnosis of this favorite actor will surely send shockwaves in and around the television industry. The Daily Star Online would not reveal the true identity of the actor, however an insider could not contain his excitement and said that "It is a big name and people will be shocked."
The star's diagnosis came in just weeks after Charlie Sheen exposed his true condition on US television. The "Anger Management" actor revealed that he had to come out about him being HIV positive for four years to stop people from blackmailing him.
Just like the 50-year-old actor, the British TV star may now be feeling the pressure to reveal his condition soon or face a guessing game on the web with people trying to find out who he really is.
After Sheen admitted to having HIV for four years, Hollywood freaked out over the news. This caused Sheen's exes to go public and accuse the actor for endangering their lives by not telling them he has HIV before having sexual relations with them. The report from Daily Star Online also described the actor as being brave in revealing his diagnosis on national TV. He later said that he has long parted with his party animal lifestyle.
World AIDS Day is on Tuesday. May Sheen's candid confession inspire the Brit star to also be open about his condition to avoid the mess that Sheen seems to be into now after confessing he has kept his condition secret for four years, and maybe join with other people in spreading awareness about the disease.
