Kylie Minogue might be the original but she admits that drag queens have been more Kylie than she could be.
In an interview on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the Australian pop star recalls one time when she found herself at a drag show in a gay club. She says that night she was “the least Kylie of all the Kylies.”
“I didn’t know I was going to end up in this gay club on drag night. I wasn’t in full flight, and I’m tiny,” Minogue says. “So me in a little heapy outfit, standing next to four robust Kylies – it was quite something. So I need to make a bit more effort next time.”
Benedict Cumberbatch, who also appeared on the show in promotion of “Avengers: Infinity War,” also revealed he’s familiar with drag.
“I went to an all-boys boarding school so I played women from a very early age,” Cumberbatch says. “I’m very comfortable with that side of my gender fluidity and it’s all cool.”
Later, Minogue teaches Corden and Cumberbatch some line dancing moves.
