'I never tried to be anything except myself. I think of myself as a relatively colorful character who doesn’t take himself or herself too seriously.'

In a new interview with Esquire, Williams -- who plays Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars films -- spoke about being,"feminine as well as masculine."

"And you see I say 'himself' and 'herself,' because I also see myself as feminine as well as masculine," the actor added."I’m a very soft person. I’m not afraid to show that side of myself." Williams, who pioneered diversity on screen, knows that the new trilogy’s young stars have endured sexist and racist comments online.

‘Thy/Theeself please!

Who is this !!

He tried 2 B a Pimp but that didn't work out, so he Bcame a Film Star. lol

Lando?

Holy shit how many times are you going to tweet this article

Kabbalah much?

Huh?!

He should look down...🙄

Whatevs, still looking forward to seeing him play Lando again on December 20th.

Neither does anybody else.

Enough already.

Why is this anybody’s business? Good for him. Everyone needs to just do their thing and not worry about it. Just be you.

I never thought he was Mr All That anyway. But ugh!

Mental dis... nvm.

Jesus christ Lando..

It's called 'being on the down-low'.

Science says Male or Female, There is nothing Else. Get over it snowflakes

Apparently that Colt 45 worked a little too well.

enbies UNITE

just move on pal

Please stop

Isn’t he in a “home” yet?

He ain’t in a home yet?

Now we know what Lando Calrissian was up to in the Bespin mines.🤔

He is in his 70's. Does anything even work anymore? Go get a colt 45 and sit down old man!

Yoda is rolling over in his grave.

He talks about being a pioneer and about the current stars being criticized over their color and gender. Its funny but I can't say I ever thought of Williams or Boyega as 'black guys' when watching the movies. I only thought of them as guys.

Why not? We weren't even always the same gender in past lives. Look at Buddha. The energy that runs through our body is actually comprised of feminine & masculine energy. We are energetically androgenous.

I take myself very serious more than all these people think.

Just say you like the D and move on man....

This is just his way of letting everyone know he finally built enough strength and courage to come out of the closet. I always knew he wasn't a heterosexual man although he never mentioned this years ago back in the day.

Sped

Care I don’t

I dont care

I guess it's NOT just white guys who get weird and creepy when they get old. 🤣

We all have a MENTAL PSYCHOLOGY; a potential for intelligence; to be aware, to have knowledge, to understand. We all have a PHYSICAL BIOLOGY; female or male (0.05-0.06% biologically hermaphrodite) Is it sensible to ignore basic facts of reality? gender mentalhealth facts

Love it!

Not Billy d? Noooo!

Alrighty then... I think his shoes are too tight...

No one is interested in gay stories like this.

'Star Wars' actor Billy Dee Williams opens up about gender fluidityIn an interview with Esquire, the 82-year-old actor appeared to come out as gender-expansive, using both male and female pronouns to describe himself. NBCOUT We respected you more when you wasn't talking about it. NBCOUT Sorry people, hate to spoil it for you, but he is a man. He was born male, he will die male. Gender is fixed, not fluid. This is something that used to be obvious to everyone, before the world went crazy. NBCOUT Boy, they keep digging hard for people to see this new movie… Now, suddenly after how many years of such things being irrelevant, BILLY DEE is GENDER FLUID — JUST LIKE LANDO! What did Arianna Grande say? thank you, next...
