Happy: Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz starred in the 2017 drama ‘Disobedience’ as a lesbian woman, and has since stressed she’d be happy to portray more queer characters as acting is “about becoming and representing someone else”.

Talking about the movie, Weisz said: “I wanted to tell this story and represent it; I see my task as not to tell the story I’ve lived.

“When I played Blanche Dubois on the stage, I’m not an alcoholic. And I’m not interested in sleeping with teenage boys! But that’s the character.

“So I see storytelling as me becoming people that I’m not.

“It’s about becoming and representing someone else. I’m not anyone that I play, otherwise I’d just be in a documentary.”
