eili harboe is a legend and here is the proof:
*“I have to say, especially male journalists often ask me a question like ‘How did you prepare for that character?’ and it’s just, to be honest, ridiculous. You know, I just wanna say ‘Fuck you’.... First of all you know nothing about me and my sexuality, personally, so you know nothing about my preparation, that’s not something that I’ve stated. And that’s also not something we, me and Joachim, the director, talked about when preparing for the part... If you were to say, you know, ‘Remember you’re portraying a gay character here”, I would not consider that a great thing at all. But he never mentioned it and I never mentioned it, it’s just something that’s a natural part of the story. We’re all humans and we all have different personalities and a different way of expressing them. And for me personally, it’s very fluid.”*
and in a different interview:
Interviewer: When Cate Blanchett was doing press for Carol, she got frustrated with the number of journalists asking her about the ‘challenge’ of playing a lesbian, when she herself is straight.

Eili: And I haven’t stated that [I’m straight]. Male journalists ask me, ‘How was it to portray a lesbian?” and I’m like, ‘Have I said, by the way I’m straight, I’m bi, I’m a lesbian? You know nothing about me in that sense.’ That’s not a statement I have ever told anyone. I hope that we come to a point where people don’t have to ask those questions.
i love her?
