Actress Julia Fox, 35, has recently provided clarity about her sexual orientation, addressing earlier comments about being a lesbian. She revealed in an interview with Allure that she identifies as pansexual, expressing that her attraction is not limited by gender. This disclosure adds nuance to the conversation about her identity, emphasizing openness to all possibilities of attraction.
Exploring Attraction Beyond Labels
Although Fox previously mentioned the possibility of being a lesbian, she now explains her experiences more openly, sharing that while she has had crushes and some physical encounters with women, these did not progress into full relationships. She stated,
“I’m pansexual; I could be attracted to anyone and anything,”
highlighting her fluid approach to attraction.
She also described her physical preferences, noting,
“If it were just down to the physical, I’m more attracted to the female body,”
while acknowledging the societal pressures women face in conforming to heteronormative expectations:
“I think women have a harder time [realizing they’re queer] because we are so programmed to perform for men.”
Reflecting on Past Relationships and Personal Growth
Fox recounted moments from her past where close, intense relationships with women felt like romantic partnerships in hindsight. She reflected,
“Looking back, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, we were in a relationship.’ But there was no way I was going to admit that to myself, and I couldn’t because so much of my survival was hinged upon men taking care of me.”
This candid reflection highlights the complexities of self-acceptance amid external pressures.
Current Priorities and Future Projects
Regarding her current romantic life, Fox shared that her frequent travel affects her ability to fully commit to relationships:
“I unfortunately can’t commit a hundred percent of myself. I’m traveling all the time.”
In addition, she revealed her passion for writing, dedicating her free time to creative projects. She explained,
“I also really want to write more. On this day off, for instance, if I wasn’t going to do this [interview], I would be downstairs in my office just writing. I’ll write a script in two days. I wrote one recently about a grandma who decides she wants to fulfill her dream of being a pageant queen.”
