Speaking to the London Evening Standard, the 42-year-old said he considered rocking up to the Academy Awards dressed as his transgender character from Dallas Buyers Club.

“It’s so much work for girls to get ready. I was brought up by my mum, so I always had an appreciation of women. But now I have more respect for the process. It’s a lot, what women have to do to themselves. But in the end, when you put that final dash of lipstick on and your look all comes together, it really is a glorious reward.”
