Actor Michael Sheen has revealed that he once considered becoming a drag queen.
The 46-year-old actor said hat, when he was 15 years old, he had a friend who moved to London for drama school, who took him to a drag club for the first time, reported Huffington Post.
"It was a very new world to me. I just couldn't believe it. I went and saw extraordinary things in these small pubs. There was Lily Savage, and we used to go see him perform at the Vauxhall Tavern in London and I just used to stand there agog, and thought this is incredible, and for a while I considered becoming a drag queen," Sheen said.
