From running 32 marathons in 31 days to performing shows in French, Arabic, German, Russian and Spanish, to a bid to stand as Labour parliamentary candidate for Brighton Pavilion, there’s no doubt Eddie Izzard has – and is continuing – to live a remarkable life. On the silver screen, Izzard has appeared in everything from The Avengers to Ocean’s Twelve/Thirteen to Shadow of the Vampire, and is about to star as Dr Nina Jekyll/Rachel Hyde in a gender-swapping remake of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson tale.
Talking of gender-swapping, Izzard adopted female pronouns in 2020, and now likes to be called either Eddie or Suzy. “I am gender-fluid,” she told the Guardian earlier this year. “I don’t want to lose Eddie. What I don’t want is ‘Suzy Eddie’. But no one can make a mistake unless they call me ‘Kenneth’ or ‘Sabrina’.”
So, the world is your oyster when we sit down with Izzard this week to pose your questions, be they on her current projects Doctor Jekyll, the new Disney+ heist series Culprits and “greatest hits” live tour, Remix. You might also want to get into politics, fitness advice, language queries (“le singe est dans l’arbre”) or makeup tips. Please post below by midday on Thursday 12 October and we’ll print the answers in Film&Music later this month.
• Doctor Jekyll is in cinemas from 27 October
