It was sort of perfect.”

These days, the actress is dating Victoria’s Secret model Stella Maxwell, which she insists is not just a phase. “I don’t want to seem presumptuous because everyone has their own experience. The whole issue of sexuality is so gray. I’m just trying to acknowledge that fluidity, that grayness, which has always existed,” she told The Guardian last year. “But maybe only now are we allowed to start talking about it. You’re not confused if you’re bisexual. It’s not confusing at all. For me, it’s quite the opposite.” In a separate interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, she said, “Did you think I was faking it? I’ve always really embraced a duality. And really, truly, believed in it and never felt confused or struggling,” she told the magazine of her sexuality. “I just didn’t like getting made fun of.”
