Australian actress Rebel Wilson has publicly criticized the notion that only gay actors should play gay roles, calling it 'total nonsense.' Wilson, who came out as queer two years ago, expressed her views as she opened Pride Month, arguing that casting should not be restricted by sexuality. She believes that actors should be able to play any role regardless of their sexual orientation. Wilson's comments have sparked discussions within Hollywood about the appropriateness of sexuality-restrictive casting practices.
