Time talked to RuPaul at the Time 100 Gala and he shared his thoughts on Viola.
Among all those included on the 2017 TIME 100, RuPaul would most like to see Viola Davis appear as a guest judge on RuPauls Drag Race .
I really would love to have Viola Davis. You know, shes so soulful, and her emotions are so on the forefront. Shes like the Stevie Wonder of emotions in terms of actors. I love her so much, he said Tuesday at the TIME 100 Gala. Everything she does is so heartfelt. Im in awe of her ability to bring her emotions so readily. Its amazing to me.
RuPaul, who was included in the 2017 TIME 100 list of the worlds most influential people, also said he has become more of an activist under President Donald Trumps administration.I want to show young people how to be active in a way that is in our wheelhouse because what the other side doesnt have is what we have in abundance, which is love and music, dancing, laughter, color, he said. We have to use that because they have nothing to fight that.
