Of course, they’re ACTORS!
Stanley Tucci takes no issue with straight actors playing gay characters – as long as it’s done “the right way.”
The Oscar-nominated actor waded into the debate surrounding LGBTQ+ casting on Sunday’s episode of BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
Tucci, 62, has portrayed queer men in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada and 2020’s Supernova.
“Obviously, I believe that’s fine,” Tucci told the BBC.
“And I’m always very flattered when gay men come up to me and talk about The Devil Wears Prada, when they talk about Supernova, and they say that it was ‘just so beautiful. You did it the right way.’ Because often it’s not done the right way.”
