“Magic is genderless,” Porter said during on an appearance on “” on Tuesday night. “We have all these sort of genders that we’ve put on things and it doesn’t actually matter. It’s not about sex. It’s not about sexuality. It’s not about gender. It’s about magic. It’s about being somebody’s fairy godmother, father, person, whatever you want to call it. That’s what it’s about.”” star had already completed his work on the movie before production was shut down in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
“She’s a fantastic actress and her energy is right,” he said of Johansson. “You need that kind of strong but vulnerable. It’s the dichotomy of that.” Despite all his successes, Porter, who has a Tony, Grammy and Emmy on his shelf, says he doesn’t take one day for granted. He recalled being sent to a psychologist when he was five years old. “Every Wednesday after school because I was a sissy and I needed to be fixed,” Porter said.“When you’re an artist and you’re presenting yourself, people can smell a rat. You can smell inauthenticity when we’re not authentic. You can smell it,” he said.
