How has your point of view changed on the communities that you’ve represented in film, for example, LGBT communities after starring in Kinky Boots?
Thank you. in some ways I think that Kinky Boots was a film ahead of its time and I’m really proud of it. It’s been fantastic to see more representation of different communities especially the LGBT community in film and television. I still feel more can be done and the film industry especially has further to go in terms of representation and inclusion - but it has certainly improved.
