Izzard as female reimagining of Dr Jekyll, anyone ?

Wasn't dear Ralph Bates in the film Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde tears ago? I think Eddie will be really good and probably very scary.

Grandmabatty, he says he has days where he wakes up in girly mode.
He’s a brilliant actor and I like him but - is this like cultural appropriation ?

as long as he doesn't take too many female roles from women actors

How many is too many? One role? Five? A hundred?

I do like Eddie. Doesn't make a song or dance about pronouns either.

Riverwalk you are not allowed to call Eddie Izzard “he” or the thought police will be after you. Eddie Izzard is a self-appointed woman who happens to have all the male bits

I thought Izzard was currently gender-fluid so he/she can't expect everyone to be up to date with how they are feeling on any given day!

He isn't female though, unless I've missed something. I know he wears woman's clothes but I have never heard he identified as a woman. Happy to be proved wrong

I hope the pay is the usual rate for a woman.

I have no problem with imaginative casting as long as he doesn't take too many female roles from women actors.

. Stealing a role from a woman?
