CELEBRATING BILLY'S HOLLYWOOD CAREER

"During your illustrious career, you have given so much of yourself to everyone. I'm proud of you! Thank you for being you!"

A MISINTERPRETED INTERVIEW

Williams and Nakagami filed for divorce in 1993, but they decided to reconcile and live together again by 1997. Soon after, they welcomed their daughter.

In December, Billy made headlines after it seemed as if he was coming out as gender fluid. However, he retracted his statements and said that he was widely misinterpreted by the press.

REFERRING TO HIS FEMININE SIDE

It all began when he said eh would catch himself saying "himself" or "herself" when identifying himself, because he sees himself as both feminine and masculine. After realizing how many people were praising him for "coming out," he revealed he actually had no clue what they meant.

"I was talking about men getting in touch with the female side of themselves. I wasn’t talking about sex, I wasn’t talking about being gay or straight."

He then suggested people read up on psychiatrist Carl G. Jung's works to learn more about getting in touch with one's feminine side before clarifying that he identifies as a man and that he is not gay.
