Guy Pearce has addrsed the recent ntroversial stg of straight cisgenr actors such as Srlett Johansson as a trans man the film Rub & Tug and Jack Whehall as a mpy gay character Disney's live-actn Jungle memorably played Atralian drag queen Felicia Jollygoodfellow the h 1994 movie The Adventur of Priscilla, Queen of the Dert. "We pped a b of flak at the time: ‘Why are there three straight actors playg three gay rol? “Image a life lived pletely to the fullt – that was Tarik Pierce, ” said Do Sevilla, -owner of the Ltle Gay Pub another Facebook postg.

The film received great acclaim and was also ld for s humane portrayal of gay characters. Perhaps today's time, Pearce would never have gotten the part bee he is neher gay nor a drag queen real life. Last year, durg an terview, Tom Hanks, who played a gay man sufferg om AIDS  Philalphia (1993), for which he won the Osr, claimed that a straight man mt not play a gay man bee dienc wouldn't accept the thenticy.

The pot of the craft is to surrenr entirely to the screenplay and bee the Michael Cae said his performance as an alholic morose Brish journalist livg Vietnam  The Quiet Amerin was his bt bee there was not a trace of "Michael Cae" mt also be remembered that stg a movie, pecially for the prcipal st, often pends on the market viabily of an reason they st Tom Hanks as a gay man  Philalphia was that they knew he would draw dienc to the cemas. Perhaps  rulted dienc beg more empathetic toward gay people. If an unknown gay actor had played the part, the movie would probably have vanished.

Back 1993, Hanks was ld for playg a gay character. It was even nsired a move of solidary wh the gay an act of bravery back then is now an act of bigotry. If a role such as Priscilla were to e up aga, would he – a straight man, playg a gay drag artist – be st aga?
