Hollywood actress Olivia Colman is mulling over her gender. The actress feels as though she is non-binary. The 52-year-old actress explained that she has never been comfortable with traditional gender roles and describes herself as a “gay man” to her husband of 25 years Ed Sinclair, reports ‘Female First UK’.
Olivia, who stars in the new queer film Jimpa, told Them, “Throughout my whole life, I`ve had arguments with people where I`ve always sort of felt non-binary. I`ve never felt massively feminine in my being female. I`ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man. And he goes, `Yeah I get that`. And I do feel so at home and at ease”.
The Oscar-winning actress shared, “I don`t really spend a whole lot of time with people who are very staunchly heterosexual. The men I know and love are very in touch with all sides of themselves. I think with my husband and I, we take turns to be the `strong one`, or the one who needs a little bit of gentleness. I believe everyone has all of it in them”.
She added, “I`ve always felt like that. I`m not alone in saying, `I don`t feel like it`s binary`. And I loved that. I came away from making this film with, yeah, I knew I wasn`t alone”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, Olivia previously recalled how she fell in love with Ed, who was an actor before becoming a screenwriter and producer, as soon as she saw him for the first time when rehearsing for a stage production.
The actress said, “I`d gone to two of the rehearsals and there was no one particularly fanciable there. Then I walked in and saw his left-hand profile. At the time he was smoking a ciggie, his feet were crossed, and he`s got this lovely bump in his nose and I saw his side profile and just went, `Oh my God, I`m going to marry him’. I had proper thunderbolts, that`s him, that`s him! Poor thing, he didn`t know”. Olivia previously suggested that her marriage to Ed has lasted for so long because the pair are “not big fighters”.
