Andra Day recalls ‘dealing with porn addiction, sex addiction’ before portraying Billie Holiday
Fox News
Andra Day embodied the hyper-sexualized performer in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” and earned a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination for her effort in the Hulu film.
In the Lee Daniels-led biopic, Holiday’s life as a singer and victim of abuse, addiction and government persecution is on full display but Day said in an interview with InStyle that acting as Holiday only opened her eyes to her own skirmishes within herself as she tried to separate herself from the character of Holiday when filming had wrapped. "I didn't want any element of sexualization. I had come out of something in my own life — dealing with porn addiction, sex addiction," Day told the magazine its latest cover issue. "I'm being very, very candid with you because I'm not the only one. But I knew I wanted all of that very much gone."More Related News
