The Traitors US host lives in New York, but hails from Scotland (Picture: BBC/Studio Lambert/Peacock/Euan Cherry) The US Traitors’ version of Claudia Winkleman, Alan Cumming, is hosting the TV Baftas this evening. But what does his life look like outside of his film and TV work?
The Scottish actor, 60, who is an Emmy, Bafta, Tony and Olivier Award-winner himself, lives in New York with his husband of almost 20 years, illustrator and photographer Grant Shaffer.
Grant – who is also around 60 – is a well-known figure in the NYC art scene, and his distinctive work has featured in a number of prominent publications including The New Yorker, Air Mail Weekly, The New York Times, and The New York Review of Books.
He’s also worked as a storyboard artist for films including Zoolander, The Girl On The Train, and Wicked, and sketched artistic concepts for music videos by stars including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Madonna.
How did Alan Cumming meet his husband? In an interview with Closer in 2020, Alan opened up about meeting Grant and revealed how he knew he was the one.
‘We met through friends in New York. He’s lovely, kind, and hilarious, but he’s also the first person who hasn’t wanted to change me,’ the GoldenEye star said.
‘We respect each other, and we were a little bit older when we met, so you know yourself more and are more respectful.’
