    Brown came out as gay in 2007, and is in a long term relationship with a designer.

    [22][50][51] He came out late in lifehis parents were not practicising Christians,
    but they sent him to Bible classes from age 5, believing it was the right thing to do. In an effort to deal with issues of self-esteem and sexuality, Brown became a
    committed Evangelical Christian in his teens in order to present a confident, asexual, character. After he came to the conclusion that his belief in Christianity had no
    basis, by his twenties he had become a committedatheist, and he instead turned to the character of the eccentric, caped magician to fulfill the role.[52][53]
    Since 2004, Brown has been the patron of the registered charity the Parrot Zoo Trust in Friskney, Lincolnshire.[54]

    In an interview
    with LeftLion magazine, he said, "I'm
    a big fan of parrots I think they're fascinating creatures. Many of them live for longer than us humans and it's interesting to me the way they learn to mimic human
    voices even though they don't really comprehend what they're saying."[55]

    The Devil's Picturebook

    is a near 3-hour home-made video. The first half explains in detail some
    classic card routines from his earlier career as a conjurer, all of which rely on sleight of hand,
    misdirection and audience management. The second looks at psychological card routines and
    shows a distinct move towards mentalism, for which he is now known. It is an instructional video for
    aspiring magicians and not an entertainment piece. For this reason, it was available only to
    practitioners through a password-protected "magicians only" area of his website. The clue to the
    password tells you that the word itself begins with T and is a type of palming trick.[18]
    International Magic Presents: The Derren
    Brown Lecture is an 80-minute lecture DVD of close-up
    mentalism and subsequent discussion of various aspects of Brown's performance. Again, this
    product is not intended for general consumption but is directed at magicians and mentalists only.
    In 2007, Brown performed in the short
    film Medium Rare.[19]
    In 2008, Brown made a guest acting appearance in BBC Four

    's Crooked House as Sir Roger


    Widdowson.[20]

    In 2008, Brown provided caricatures for "The QI 'F' annual".


    In
    2009, a book, Portraits, was released containing a selection of Brown's paintings and bizarre
    caricatures of celebrities.
    In 2010, Brown appeared in a special Comedy Gala for Channel four and Great Ormond Street
    Hospital. He appeared with Kevin Bishop, who played his jealous annoying twin 'Darren'.
