Actress Rebel Wilson has sparked controversy in Hollywood by advocating for actors to play any role regardless of their sexual orientation.

In a BBC Radio 4 interview, Wilson stressed the importance of creative freedom in casting decisions, opposing the idea that only gay actors should play gay roles.

She argues that actors should be free to explore different roles, particularly in comedy where pushing boundaries is common.

Wilson, who came out as LGBTQ+ in 2022, recently announced her engagement to Ramona Agruma and has a daughter with her.

She credited her on-screen experiences with women for opening her heart to same-sex relationships.

The debate about straight actors playing queer characters remains a contentious issue in the entertainment industry.

Wilson's views add to ongoing discussions about casting choices, representation, and boundaries in role portrayal.

Despite facing redacted passages in her memoir for legal reasons, Wilson stands by her belief that actors should not be limited by their sexual orientation in taking on roles.
