Freddie Fox has suggested that actors who aren’t entirely straight may have a ‘real advantage’ in the film industry. Fox, 31, is one of the new stars in the fourth series of hit drama The Crown, which dropped on Netflix yesterday.
He plays Margaret Thatcher’s son, Mark. But he previously played Freddie Baxter in the two gay-themed television series – Cucumber and Banana in 2015.
And at that time he hinted his sexuality wasn’t entirely straight. Fox said: ‘I’ve had girlfriends, but I wouldn’t wish to say “I am this or I am that,” because at some time in my life I might fall in love with a man.’ He also said people can have meaningful relationships ‘no matter what sex they are’.
