“Broad City” star Abbi Jacobson came out as being attracted to both men and women in an interview promoting her new film “6 Balloons.”

“I kind of go both ways; I date men and women,” the 34-year-old told Vanity Fair. “They have to be funny, doing something they love. I don’t know—I’ve never really been interviewed about this before.”

When the interviewer informs her that by discussing her dating life she’s opening herself up to be approached she responds, “Yeah, who knows? The world is my oyster.”

In addition to appearing in “6 Balloons,” which is currently streaming on Netflix, Jacobson will appear as a guest judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” along with her “Broad City” co-star Ilana Glazer.

However, Jacobson wasn’t willing to give up any spoilers.

“It’s pretty much under lock and key over there,” Jacobson says. “I know roughly when it airs because, as a judge, I know how many contestants are left, but I can’t say.”
