The 62-year-old star, known for his roles in &#8220;The Hunger Games&#8221; and &#8220;The Devil Wears Prada,&#8221; has received praise for his portrayal of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/petition-demands-netflix-cancel-possible-colton-underwood-series-over-stalking-allegations\/\" title=\"Petition Demands Netflix Cancel Possible Colton Underwood Series Over Stalking Allegations\">gay man<\/a> in the 2020 drama &#8220;Supernova&#8221; opposite Colin Firth.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cObviously, I believe that\u2019s fine,\u201d Tucci, who is heterosexual, said on BBC Radio 4\u2019s Desert Island Discs. \u201cI am always very flattered when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gay-campground-in-michigan-draws-accusations-of-transphobia-for-banning-trans-men\/\" title=\"Gay Campground In Michigan Draws Accusations Of Transphobia For Banning Trans Men\">gay men<\/a> come up to me and talk about [my role in] \u2018The Devil Wears Prada\u2019 or they talk about \u2018Supernova,\u2019 and they say that, \u2018It was just so beautiful,\u2019 you know, \u2018You did it the right way.\u2019 Because often it\u2019s not done the right way, and I really do believe as an actor that you are supposed to play different people. You just are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an interview with The Guardian, Tucci also revealed that he feels more comfortable acting than in real life. He admitted, \u201cI feel much safer on stage than I do in real life. Sometimes, walking into a cocktail or dinner party, I get very nervous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Tucci&#8217;s Personal Life and Loss<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the same interview, Tucci opened up about his wife, Felicity Blunt, whom he met through his &#8220;Devil Wears Prada&#8221; co-star Emily Blunt. Despite their age difference, Tucci knew she was a special person and expressed his gratitude for her presence in his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI was kind of afraid of getting into a relationship and I kept trying to break it off because I am 21 years older than Felicity. I didn\u2019t want to feel old for the rest of my life, but I knew this was an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-patriots-ravens-texans-qb-dies-at-age-35\/\" title=\"Ex-Patriots, Ravens, Texans QB passes away at 35.\">incredibly special person<\/a>. If anybody made things better for all of us, it is her,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tucci also shared the pain of losing his first wife, Kate Tucci, to cancer in 2010. Reflecting on the devastating loss, he revealed, \u201cI didn\u2019t work for almost a year \u2026 It was awful. It still is awful in a way. You never really get over it. I was afraid it would affect me so greatly that it would overwhelm me, so that I wouldn\u2019t be able to go on and take care of the kids, so I had to step away. Other people were there. But you still feel guilty and sad about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Stanley Tucci, known for his roles in &#8220;The Hunger Games&#8221; and &#8220;The Devil Wears Prada,&#8221; supports straight actors playing gay characters.
