Any crossdressing celebs??

[Madam Rose]

If this was already made sorry but are there any celebs who are crossdressers?

[becky77]

Eddie Izzard, possible the most famous crossdresser?

[Mistybtm]

I have always wondered that as well if any of our members are celebs.

[Karren H]

according yo his ex.... Kelsey Grammar crossdresses..... and James Franco seems to like to be in drag a lot... then there's the famous director Ed Wood...... "Glen or Glenda" loved Johnny Deep as Ed in the movie Ed Wood...

[avant1465]

John Travolta comes to mind. That was in the tabloids just a few weeks ago.....

[whowhatwhen]

Barney Rubble, but that may only be because Fred constantly forces him.
Hmmm... Maybe Fred was pitching for the wrong team?

[bridgetta]

jim Carrey according to jenny mcarthy.. probably a billion more.. EDDIE MURPHY>. holy cow.

[Millie]

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith looks like a cross dresser to me.

[ColleenA]

How can we then overlook one of the most out-there crossdressers in all of Hollywood? Bugs Bunny! (Though Elmer Fudd was caught on camera wearing a dress often enough as well.)

[Beverley Sims]

We may have to talk and wonder about possible celebs.
Can you imagine this scenario.
My name is Gracie I am new to this forum, I used to be Governor of California.
My problem is I do not pass well as I am 6 pick handles wide and weigh a ton.
I starred in a film once with some kindergarten kids.
I find it hard to find dresses and shoes to fit me and I am curious as to whether I would pass without a lot of makeup.
You may find it hard to work out who the individual is so we will have to rely on heresay, rumor and innuendo in this thread.:)

...and weren't you pregnant once and have an adorable twin brother:D

[Princess_Andria]

Dennis Rodman seems to just turn up places fully done up. Apparently 1 of the actors from the movie some like it hot was a crossdresser. Eminem could be classed as 1 lol so many times in his music videos he takes on a fem form lol

[DonnaT]

Rod Stewart wore ladies underwear, but in 2006 said he stopped.

[Princess_Andria]

Rod Stewart wore ladies underwear, but in 2006 said he stopped.

He'll be back... They always come BACK! =P

[Julie Gaum]

Here's one most of the readers probably never heard of: Irving Thalberg. Managed Universal Studios at age 20 and then joined Mayer to create the M-G-M Studios. Produced well known motion pictures of the 1930s and the Irving F Thalberg Award is still in existence as Thalbeerg was one of the founders of the Motion Picture Academy. His wife, Norma Shearer, was a famous star of her day. It was a fact that when husband and wife had dinner alone in their mansion in Beverly Hills the servants would serve them in their huge dining room with Irving dressed en femme in splendid gowns as was Norma (The wealthy always dressed in suit and tie or gowns in those years. ---- and that's the rest of the story.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Rose, They say that J.Edgar Hoover was a CD.

[Sheren Kelly]

I believe the J Edgar Hoover rumor was debunked, but he most certainly had a very close male companion for most of his life.

Rudy Guliani (former Mayor of New York) has been seen in a dress on several occasions.

[BRANDYJ]

I once heard that the late great John Wayne was a crossdresser. I'm not buyin' that. I don't even want to think about a hero figure such as John Wayne in a dress. lol

[NathalieX66]

Johnny Depp....but all his talk about himself enjoying wearing women's lingerie was really a plug for his movie Ed Wood.

[xdressed]

Eddie Izzard is an obvious one. There's also David Walliams, Alex Reid, Andrew O'Neil (not really a celeb but he is a professional comedian who's been on TV a few times). Kurt Cobain was a crossdresser as well I think, oddly it was never really picked up on though.

[jackies wife]

Dennis Rodham, Cary Grant, Johnny Depp

[bimini1]

I'd say Eddie Murphy is what you call a "chaser".
Ozzy did it but blamed it on the dope.

[Davena Doll]

How about Ru Pall I see him from time to time in womans clothes.

[Jill Devine]

Former multi division world champion boxer Oscar de la Hoya! There are many pics online of him with female escorts and him dressed. Initially the pics were strongly denied and claimed to be photo shopped. His lawyers from Golden Boy promotions sued a few hookers for defamation. Cases dropped.

A few months ago in a tv interview (pardon the pun) he finally fessed up but blamed it on drugs and alcohol. The obvious question - if the dressing part was unplanned with the hookers - was where the size ten heels came from in the hotel room? He was wearing heels in the pics...

Smoke. Fire. Crossdresser!

[xdressed]

Jude Law isn't a crossdresser but had to dress up for the movie Rage, he looks amazing look him up on youtube!

The current governor of Oklahoma is a woman, and the one before her was a guy about 5 feet five or six (I'm guessing from seeing him in person). He was maybe a little chubby, but not as wide as you have described. What town in Oklahoma did you live in? I live in Muskogee.

[Butterfly Bill]

I'm surprised y'all have gotten this far without mentioning Boy George and David Bowie. There were also Milton Berle and Flip Wilson.

[Krista Doll]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned our own Jessica Who she is someone famous!!!!!!!

[Tara D. Rose]

Johnny Depp did a great job as Bon Bon in the early 90's movie entitled
"Before Night Falls". I haven't seen the movie yet, but will order it soon enough though.

[DavinaJones]

Not strictly a crossdresser but I appeared with Sean Bean on 'Tracies Story', BBC drama Accused series 2 recently. For those who don't know, Sean Bean played a crossdressing teacher who ended up in 'the dock' accused of being a part of a murder.

Wow you were actually in it? That must have been cool. Were you in the scene where we goes to the Crossdress Club?

[DavinaJones]

I was supposed to play his double but they realized I wasn't tall enough. Someone else got the part but then the scenes were edited out anyway.
To be honest I thought it was a poor story, it lacked substance. I bought a £120 Laura Ashley dress for that day, I laughed when my mother-in-law borrowed the dress for a wedding a few weeks later, I'll show her the photo's one day LOL

[bridgetta]

eddie murphy is a chaser but did you see norbert? that is no accident?

[Laura_Stephens]

Stewie Griffin has dressed up multiple times.

[Barbra P]

Back in the late Seventies and early Eighties there were a lot of rumors about Richard Chamberlain and even reports that he ventured out in Hollywood.

[Jilmac]

How about Milton Berle, Dustin Hoffman, and Curly (the stooge) Howard.

[Taylor186]

Esther Williams claimed her almost husband Jeff Chandler was a crossdresser.

[heatherdress]

Bruce Jenner? In addition to his exwife's claim that he CDs, just look at a current picture. His surgeries seem to have feminized his face. Add long hair, pierced ears, defined eyebrows-maybe?

[Diane Smith]

Movie song-and-dance man Dan Dailey comes to mind. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0197314/bio) I remember him mainly as the father/governor in the short-lived CBS TV series "The Governor & J.J." in the late '60s.

A good source of information about gender-variant celebrities and other historical figures is http://zagria.blogspot.com/

[susan54]

When an actor dresses as a woman for a part, they almost always say how much they enjoyed it and want to keep the clothes. I wonder how much they then take to dressing at home (assuming they didn't before)? I also recall an interview with Max Clifford who said he had kept the names of four politicians out of the papers for cross-dressing. All, he said, were household names. Looks like he did his job well. This was in the last parliament -don't know if they are still MPs.

Given the number of openly gay celebs, it is interesting to see that cross-dressing is still not open, even in a profession where you would think it would be OK.

By the way I remember reading recently that a man (I forget who) was the first man to appear on the cover of Cosmo. He wasn't. That was Boy George, but he was completely dressed as a woman in a ballgown and wig and make up.

[heatherdress]

If you think about this question beyond just the names of celebs who crossdress, celebs in general , engage in or exhibit many practices that are part of our crossdressing rituals. Hollywood actors remoe hair from their bodies, shape eyebrows, have cosmetic surgery, wear makeup, wear women' clothes in their roles, get manicures, color their hair, pierce their ears, wear jewelry etc.

[Sheren Kelly]

Bruce Jenner? In addition to his exwife's claim that he CDs, just look at a current picture. His surgeries seem to have feminized his face. Add long hair, pierced ears, defined eyebrows-maybe?

And as far as I can tell from the picture you mention, he has had electrolysis (or reduiced his beard shadow)

[STACY B]

Crushed I tell ya ,,, None of my home girls even thought about the celeberty that stays among you folks all the time without any Props or Prays . GEEZ ,,I am so crushed that no one nomiated the Super Star ?




:mooning:

[noonlight86]

I would think a lot of 80s Glam Metal Bands were cross dressers. Motley Crue had the look of a bunch of drag queens back in the day.

[BillieJoEllen]

What about David Spader? It was reported awhile ago that he CDed. Also the guy who starred in that Kung Fu TV show (can't remember his name). He died while wearing panties.

[SuzanneS]

Did you ever see the cover of "Look What the Cat Dragged in" from Poison? I don't think I even had that much makeup on the first time I tried to pass.

[RachelPortugal]

I once heard that the late great John Wayne was a crossdresser. I'm not buyin' that. I don't even want to think about a hero figure such as John Wayne in a dress. lol

His femme name was Marian!

No one has mentioned Lou Reed - take a walk on the wild side.

[sometimes_miss]

Marv Albert, top notch sportscaster; I grew up listening to him broadcast Knicks games on the radio. Now he does national level stuff on the major networks, and I think his kids are sportscasters too. Only time will tell if they follow in their dad's 'heels'.

[Silmaril]

I'm not sure you could officially call it crossdressing, but it seems to me that Prince has always walked the line pretty tightly, and crossed over it more than once. In fact, I'd argue he did a lot to push the envelope.

[eire emma]

Did anyone see the movie breakfast on Pluto? Cillian Murphy,wish l had cheekbones like that!

[ColleenA]

His femme name was Marian!

I can forgive you, Rachael, for being what I hope was facetious.

John Wayne's real name was Marion Morrison - don't know anywhere he is referred to as Marian. Marion as a boy's name was already falling out of favor when he began his Hollywood career, thus his stage name.

[bridgetta]

http://icydk.com/2012/01/11/photo-bruce-jenners-a-cross-dresser/. With lipstick. Now it makes sense. All the kids kind of avoid him and are weird around him and disrespect him. Now Watch the show with this info and you can pick up how they are unable to deal with it.

[TxKimberly]

I personally know of one actor that you would probably recognize that is a member of this forum. Don't bother asking me who though, because while I'm willing to tell you "Yes, there is an actor here" I am not about to out her and tell ya who.

[bridgetta]

@txkimberly who is it?

[Rianna Humble]

I once heard that the late great John Wayne was a crossdresser. I'm not buyin' that. I don't even want to think about a hero figure such as John Wayne in a dress. lol

Then how about Marion Morrison?

[heatherdress]

There are many female celebs who crossdress. Seems that many simply wear men's wear to simply hide from the media, I guess. Note even newsworthy when noticed.

[rocketscientist]

Would you believe the boxer Oscar De La Hoya!http://www.x17online.com/celebrities/oscar_de_la_hoya/oscar_de_la_hoya_sued_cross_dressing_sex_romp_anot her_second_woman_hotel_cocaine_111011.php

Brian Molko from the band Placebo springs to mind.

I watched 'Tracies Story', a very good drama indeed.

Sean Bean was superb.

[Jocee]

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith looks like a cross dresser to me.

As a long time Boston resident, there were always rumors that he was seen out and about in full drag.

[divamissz]

I think we need to separate actors who crossdress as part of a role for film/tv/theater from those who do it for their own personal enjoyment. There's quite a few actors who dress for parts; there are very few who do it personally. Eddie Izzard is the only one I can think of who does both, but dresses less off-stage than he used to. While Johnny Depp's portrayal of Ed Wood was brilliant, I don't know anyone who has seen him en femme otherwise. Boy George was more of a "gender bender."

And as for the identity of the celebrity who is on the forum? Why is it our business? They have as much right to their privacy as any of us do here. We expect discretion-so should they.

I've been thinking the same thing throughout this thread. CDing for a role doesn't make one a crossdresser. Getting paid to crossdress is more about female impersonation in most cases. What about Dennis Rodman? Was he just trying to be shocking? Remember when Phil Donahue wore a few female garments on his show? That was all about increasing ratings, nothing more.

[RebeccaLynne]

Mick Jagger. Absolutely. Not a raving beauty, but (s)he has the moves and can sing. Definitely one of us. :)

[Aloha Jayne]

I think it was mentioned earlier, but in his book, Steven Tyler claims to be part woman and gets his look from Janis Joplin. He even admits to raiding daughter Liv's wardrobe closet and wearing her things. He was also mistaken for Mick J early in his career.

[Aloha Jayne]

Is it you Kimberly? Lots of celebs in Austin. :)

[Jackiefl]

Shame on all of us we have mentioned a lot of celebs but no one mentioned TIM CURRY from ROCKY HORROR.

[Joanna Maguire]

I was once told that John Wayne the cowboy was a crossdresser Also that he rode small horses so he looked " Tall in the saddle " ?

[StephanieJ]

Stana from femulate.org has compiled a pretty cool list:

[StephanieJ]

Maybe I'm a little off the intended track, but I'll not forget the opening scene from Fletch Lives where Chevy Chase dresses as a maid. Then of course there is the immortal Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!

Stana's list is that of celebrities who have crossdressed, not celebrities who are crossdressers, as the original poster asked.

Well for what its worth, tough guy James Cagney did start out his stage career as a female impersonator.

[StephanieJ]

Good point. You are exactly right, I was a little off on that one. However I have to ask, how far does the apple fall from the tree?? (If you know what I mean.)

I wonder if some of these celebs get a taste of femininity and like it enough to come back after work. Case in point - John Travolta. Plays the part of Edna Turnblat in Hairspray and then comes out later as a cross dresser in his private life. Just sayin' those who knock it haven't tried it.

[Taylor186]

John Travolta has never claimed to be a crossdresser.
