Much has happened since Courtney Act came to International prominence on Australian Idol in 2003. She was a runner-up on RuPaul’s Drag Race just four years ago, and we recently saw her and her alter-ego Shane Jenek win Celebrity Big Brother UK.
Courtney was back in the UK last month with her Under The Covers show – a 75 minute, fully seated performance of music, style, gender defining beauty and personality. Hell, there was even a Björk cover. Well, a cover of a Björk cover.
Growing up in Australia, Courtney was up until recently living in Los Angeles and has spent the last few years touring North America, the UK & Europe, Brazil, Australia & Asia in the wake of being top 3 on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Her current home is London, which is handy considering she’ll be gracing the stage at London’s Trafalgar Square for Pride in London next month.
Courtney Act is a Prius driving, vegan, pansexual, polyamorous, genderfluid, Burner hippy child who is passionate about human rights, the environment and Justin Bieber whom she one day hopes to marry. She was once voted as one of FHM’s Top 100 Sexiest Women in the world (despite not actually being a woman), Fader Magazine’s ‘Ten People To Watch’, and Mr Tiny Tot 1987. She also has a webbed toe.
I caught up with Courtney in her London hotel room to talk more.
