Bilal Hasna: “Drag is an Olympic sport. Drag queens are Olympians!”

Actor Bilal Hasna on his latest role as a non-binary British-Palestinian drag queen in the brilliant Layla.  Actor Bilal Hasna has been incredibly hard to pin down. In the midst of press tours, auditions and a packed shooting schedule, we finally manage to find a time to chat over Zoom. As he flashes on screen, his first instinct is to apologise profusely at being unable to meet in person, telling me that he’d just come from an audition and would later be attending an event for the launch of The Agency, a new show in which he stars alongside Michael Fassbender, Richard Gere and Jodie-Turner Smith.
