Billy Dee Williams has clarified comments he made last week about identifying as both masculine and feminine.
The 82-year-old actor caused a stir last week when he said he sees himself as “feminine as well as masculine” but he has insisted his comments were misunderstood and he doesn’t view himself as not having a fixed gender.
