Zachary Quinto Virtually Honored at GQ's Men of the Year Awards 2020

Zachary Quinto was one of the few honored at the 2020 GQ Men of the Year Awards this week.

Accepting his Movie International award from presenter and his The Boys in the Band co-star Jim Parsons, the 43-year-old actor reflected on how his passion for acting was born.

“When I was young and just starting to study acting, I was incredibly lucky to be taught by my great acting teacher,” he shared in a video message. “She shaped my understanding of what it means to be an artist: How you move in the world is at least as important as on stage. I have never forgotten this fundamental lesson.”

Zachary added, “Finding this balance has always been a cornerstone of my consciousness and my ambition to fight for people who have been less fortunate than me.”

The 2020 GQ Men of the Year Awards honored top national and international personalities and other honorees included Claudia Schiffer, Jean Paul Gaultier, Leon Goretzka, and Kimberly Jones.
