Billy Dee Williams Of Star Wars Describes Himself As Gender Fluid
The actor who first played Lando Calrissian in the 1980s said hes both feminine and masculine.
I never tried to be anything except myself, Williams told Esquire in an interview that published Tuesday.
And you see I say himself and herself, because I also see myself as feminine as well as masculine, he added. Im a very soft person. Im not afraid to show that side of myself.
Williams reprised his iconic role as the smuggler turned Cloud City administrator in the upcoming installment of the space fantasy series, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 20.
n his interview with Williams, Esquires Matt Miller pointed out how Donald Glover, the actor who played a young Calrissian in last years Solo: A Star Wars Story, described the character as pansexual. Pansexuality typically refers to an attraction to people that is not limited by a particular gender identity or sexual orientation.
Yeah, hes coming on to everybody, Glover said of Calrissian during an interview last year with SiriusXM after Solo writers confirmed the characters pansexuality.
He continued: I feel like if youre in space its kind of like, the door is open! Its like, no, only guys or girls. No, its anything. This thing is literally a blob. Are you a man or a woman? Like, who cares? Have good time out here.
Williams was reportedly thrilled to hear about Glovers remarks.
Really? That kid is brilliant, he told Esquire.
