Dame Helen Mirren Believes “We’re All Somewhere In The Middle In A Wonderful Mix Of Male And Female”

In a recent interview with the Radio Times, Dame Helen Mirren said that gender and sexuality are both on a spectrum.

“I came to the conclusion an awfully long time ago that there is black and there is white, and we’re all somewhere in the middle in a wonderful mix of male and female,” Mirren said.

“There is no such thing as binary sexuality, when you’re male or female. I don’t believe that at all.”

She continued: “I think I was very lucky to be in my world, the world of acting and drama, because I think an awful lot of actors have male and female in them. A lot of great actors, great masculine actors, are actually very feminine.

“Great heartthrobs have a very present feminine side to them. A lot of very strong female actors, have a very strong male side to them.”

Mirren’s comments come after it was reported that the Brit Awards will ‘review’ its male and female categories in order to accommodate non-binary artists.
