Alan Cumming calls X-Men sequel X2 the 'gayest' film that he's ever made: 'It's an allegory about queerness'


Alan Cumming took a walk down memory lane during an interview with Entertainment Weekly that led him to declare X2 (2003) 'the gayest film that I've ever done.'

Cumming came out publicly about his sexuality, calling himself bisexual in 1998, when he was 33-years-old, after appearing in the films Romy And Michele's High School Reunion (1997) and Spice World (1997). 'I think, in a way, those sorts of films really help people understand queerness, because you can address it in an artistic way, and everyone is less scared of the concept,' he said in making his case during an interview with Entertainment Weekly The Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland native, who became a dual-national when he was sworn in as a citizen of the United States in November 2008, has been the host of the U.S. version of the reality series The Traitors (2023-present), which was renewed for a third season this past February.
