Drag legend RuPaul has always been rather relaxed about gender specifics, famously declaring in his 1995 autobiography, “You can call me he. You can call me she. I don’t care! Just as long as you call me.”

Call him I did, and on the day we chatted, RuPaul was studiously working in an LA production office — presumably de-wigged, so “he” seemed more appropriate. Besides, there was no time to agonise over pronouns — his sheer delight at hearing an Australian accent threatened to derail the interview before it even began.
