The Hollywood Reporter, the trade magazine asked the straight actor to respond to a quote from gay Pose star Billy Porter: “Straight men playing gay — everyone wants to give them an award.”In response, McGregor said, “If it had been a story about Halston’s sexuality more, then maybe it’s right that gay actors should play that role.
But in this case — and I don’t want to sound like I’m worming out of this, because it’s something I did think a lot about — I suppose, ultimately, I felt like it was just one part of who he was.”This would not be the first time the Halston star has played gay.
