Eddie Izzard always believed he should have been bisexual rather than a ''straight transvestite''.
Eddie Izzard has always felt he ''should be bisexual''.
The comedian and actor - whose stand up style features him depicting a transvestite - explained people assume he is not ''fearful'' about anything because of his confident outward demeanour.
He told the Independent newspaper: ''I'm fearful. About everything: dogs, helicopters. I am as fearful as the average person but I realise that it's linked with being a transvestite in a way.
''The moment I walked out that door in heels and make-up, in 1985, it was a red-letter day. I did feel I could say to the world, 'Look, I'm a straight transvestite'. I don't know why I'm straight, I should be bi.''
However, the 50-year-old funnyman has now learned how to manage his fear by ''taking control'' of things that terrify him.
Eddie added: ''People talk about fear management a lot. I'm into fear compression. It's the control of your fear.
''I learnt to fly. I earned a pilot's licence because I was scared of flying and threw up on planes when I was younger. It took five weeks of intense work. Just little planes.''
