Michelle Rodriguez sat down for an interview with Page Six, where she talked about how her new movie The Assignment, in which she plays a male assassin who wakes up only to find that he has undergone sex reassignment surgery, has made her feel more feminine. Here's what she had to say:
“All my life I felt alienated by women. They were into the lipstick, nails and dressing up and I always felt like a tomboy, like I didn’t fit in. I felt like I had masculine qualities versus feminine qualities just because I am an alpha. I do what I want and never let anybody tell me otherwise. I am kind of hardcore about that. But then when I go and actually play a man, I realized I am such a girl, there is nothing manly about me. The toughest part was wearing a beard because it was really itchy. The minute my hand came up to my face, you could see that I was a woman. I have female fingers. I was so confused growing up, so it took playing a man to make me a woman.
There was a scene when I had to put on a cock with the balls, I did ask for a big one. They glued it on and the hair was so itchy and rubbing up against my leg, it was so nasty. But playing a man, it is real, it did not mess with my psychologically, I am not a Method actress. When you say ‘cut,’ I am back to Michelle. But it did mess with me when I was on set. As soon as the scene was over I was like, ‘Take it off.' But it is stamped solid and official I am a girl.”
