RuPaul on Girl on Guy

If you are going through a Drag Race withdrawal and are jonesing for a weekly fix of the fabulous RuPaul, give a listen to this sincere interview Mr Charles gave on Aisha Tyler‘s podcast, Girl on Guy.

Now Tyler isn’t gay, but she is definitely a queer ally. You may know Tyler as Charlie on Friends or as the voice of kickass secret agent Lana Kane on the animated series Archer.

In this interview, Tyler gets RuPaul to open up about everything from his drag beginnings, to his entertainment business lows, to being told he was different before he knew what different was.

Drag Race returns with its first All Stars season in October. Read more about the upcoming season on Xtra‘s Toronto Diary blog.
