Bridgetton: This actor who was advised to hide his homosexuality

This is a story that is very often experienced by people who think they belong to the LGBTQ + community. Golda Rochewell, who plays Queen Charlotte in The Bridgerton Chronicle, is no exception – she always loves gossip. Early in his career, he was advised by a lesbian director to stay in the closet.

The actor tells this episode of his life in a podcast variety. “We talked about being outside, being proud and representing and if I have to say I’m gay in interviews“- says Golda Rocheuvel.

And it was an absolute no: “You absolutely should not do that. It will ruin your acting career.” I would rather lose my job than be loyal to myself. I prefer not to work in an industry that does not accept. I just have not grown up that way. From him, a lesbian director, that surprised me.

Golda Rochewell, known in the UK as a stage actress, saw her career receive royal impetus with her role in Bridgetton. The actress will also receive an award this weekend for her human rights campaign, the LGBTQ + Civil Rights Organization, at the Gala in New York.

“I’m out and proud” he says. “My sexuality is really important to me in terms of existence, knowing that I am important. I am just as important as all the planets. იგAige, what do I mean? My partner always says: “Just the fact that you are on screen in Bridgeton as a black, mixed race, gay, lesbian, playing England’s first black queen. The fact that you are here is great.“
