Rashida Jones to John Travolta: “Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this!”

Rashida Jones, one of the stars of NBC’s Parks and Recreation, is busy promoting her new movie Jesse & Celeste Forever.

In an interview with SpinningPlatters.com the conversation veered away from the movie and over to the importance of closeted gay movie stars coming out.

Says Jones: “A movie star. Like, John Travolta? Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this!”

Jones was born into showbiz with her father being Quincy Jones and her mom being actress Peggy Lipton of The Mod Squad and Twin Peaks fame.

She weighed in on other male celebrities who have come out and laments that none of them are A-list leading men:

“Let’s be honest: Anderson Cooper is a TV personality. Like Neil Patrick Harris—okay, yes, it’s great that he came out, but (A) these are both men who have lived in the gay community for a long time and I think everyone suspected, and (B) there’s something about these iconic stars, people who are almost godlike.

With someone like Frank Ocean, yes, it’s fantastic that he did what he did,and his letter was so beautiful, and he’s in such close proximity to all these rappers. So he’s battling homophobia just by being honest. But big stars need to come out. Ricky Martin was huge. That was big; I was really happy about that.”
