Hilary Swank<\/strong><\/a> says all actors are pretending … so, she’s for non-trans actors playing trans characters and vice versa — at least, it seems that’s what she’s saying.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The two-time Oscar winner famously won her first back in 2000 after playing trans man Brandon Teena<\/strong> in the biopic “Boys Don’t Cry” and reflected on the role in an interview with The Times of London<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

While breaking down her part in the film, Swank acknowledges she wouldn’t take the role today, saying her part in it was a sign of the times and adding a trans actor could really sink their teeth into the Brandon role today.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

But, HS doesn’t leave her thoughts on the part there … and, her added statement makes it sound like she’s totally fine with cisgender actors taking on transgender parts.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Swank says, “I also feel like actors are actors. We are supposed to play different people and I would like to hope trans people are getting the opportunity to play non-trans people as well” … so, it seems she’s hoping for a two-way street sorta approach — gender identity shouldn’t keep an actor from getting a job.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Hilary’s stance isn’t common in Hollywood … back in 2021, Eddie Redmayne — who played a transwoman in “The Danish Girl” — said he regretted starring in the film despite earning an Oscar nod for it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

And, Scarlett Johansson<\/strong><\/a> dropped out<\/strong><\/a> of “Rub & Tug” after receiving criticism for agreeing to take a transgender role.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

But, Hilary’s firm on this … it’s about the quality of the acting rather than the correct identity. Only one way to settle this — vote below!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
