David James Furnish was born on 25 October 1962, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is a filmmaker, producer, director and former advertising executive, best known for being married to Elton John.

David Furnish Quotes

• I think it’s so ironic that quite a lot of Queen’s fans probably had no idea that Freddie Mercury was gay whatsoever, even though he embraced so many iconographic images and what gay men were supposed to look like, and the band was called Queen. The “I Want to Break Free” video took that and pushed it to another level. I think it was a very brave thing for them to do because it was acknowledging a side of the group that a lot of their fans probably hadn’t considered at the time.
• [on Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)] When Elton (John) and I work on things, we want to invest out time, creativity and energy in things that hopefully bring the world closer together, not further apart. The movie’s message essentially says it doesn’t matter if you’re a red or a blue. At the end of the day parents should love their children and want what’s best for them. Elton and I try not be judgmental people. We are not advocates in the placard-carrying way. We just try to live our life by example.
