We’re in an interesting time right now where people are exploring all kinds of different ideas of identity, not just masculinity or femininity,” he added. “Maybe a whole new paradigm.

For myself, I have never had a specific idea of masculinity. I think it’s OK just to be yourself and whatever that entails.”
