WOWlebrity Todrick Hall Talks About Playing Lola in ‘Kinky Boots’ to Towleroad

By Blake Jacobs on December 1, 2016 11:04 am

WOWlebrity and RuPaul’s Drag Race judge Todrick Hall recently sat down to chat with our friends at Towleroad about the advice RuPaul gave him, performing in high heel boots eight shows a week on Broadway in Kinky Boots, and his friendship with Taylor Swift!

On the advice RuPaul gave to Todrick:

He just said that it’s all about the eyelashes. The eyelashes are the most important thing. You can tell so much by the eyes. And so I remember that all the time. And I feel like a lot of my Lola moves and looks that I do on stage every night are very RuPaul inspired.

What it’s like wearing high heel boots for eight shows a week:

It’s awesome. I learned how to walk in cheap boots I got on Hollywood Boulevard. So now I feel like I’m working with the Bentley of boots. But my calves are definitely hurting every single night when I go home. It’s a good workout though and I have a huge newfound appreciation for what women have to go through to walk in heels all the time. I think I can definitely say that I’m guilty of pressuring my [female] friends [in heels] to walk faster and now I will never make that mistake again.

 

On Taylor Swift:

Taylor helped me with my confidence and she was like, “You are made to do this. Sometimes we have to do things that scare us and make us uncomfortable and those are the things that help us grow.” She’s just such an amazing human being and she’s been such an amazing friend and I can’t wait for her to be back in the country so she can see the show.
