Eddie Izzard says American people don’t think he’s a transvestite
Eddie Izzard has said he’s been in “boy mode” so long now that the American people don’t think he’s a transvestite.
Izzard, 47, has kept dressing as a man to further his TV and film career in the US, and he said that his female self is one that has now been forgotten.
He said: “I tell everyone I’m a transvestite over and over again. I never thought that I would be on TV, begging people to believe I’m a transvestite.
“But I am being strategic about this.
“I’ve been in boy mode for the past few years but I know I can be in girl mode if I want to.
“I would know what to do. It’s all still there. It’s in my toolbox. I am a card-carrying transvestite. Always have been, always will be.”
