Xavier Espot Zamora, the Prime Minister of Andorra, has come out as gay in a recent interview with the country’s public broadcaster. Speaking with Radio and Television of Andorra on 11 September, the politician said: “I’m gay.

Written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as Daniels), the drama-comedy-sci-fi-martial-arts epic dominated box offices in the summer of 2022 and is continuing its takeover via the 2023 awards circuit.
