Project Runway’s, Tim Gunn, Admits to Past Suicide Attempt

Tim Gunn collaborated with the Trevor Project, an organization focused on suicide prevention among gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth, by creating a video where he admits to a past suicide attempt. Gunn said in the video, “As a 17-year-old youth who was in quite a bit of despair, I attempted to kill myself and I’m very happy today that that attempt was unsuccessful but at the time it’s all that I could contemplate.” Gunn goes on to say, “I woke up the morning after taking over a hundred pills and I was in a whole other level of despair. I thought, ‘I shouldn’t be here. This isn’t what was meant to be.’ I frankly just wanted to start life all over again.”

Tim Gunn of Project Runway As A Marvel Superhero

Tim Gunn of Project Runway has been immortalised as a Marvel comics character. 

From NY Times:

THE heroes of Marvel Entertainment have foiled everything from bank robberies to alien invasions — usually with their fists. But when a young set designer is murdered during New York Fashion Week, solving the crime falls to more delicate hands.

On Aug. 26, Marvel will release the first issue of “Models Inc.,” a sartorially minded mini-series that unites some of its fashion-friendly supporting characters and pushes them into new starring roles.
