Close Encounters
CHEYENNE JACKSON
The American Horror Story veteran talks about his new movie
Words by Steve O’Brien
FACE TO FACE WITH THE BIGGEST STARS
As SFX hooks up with actor Cheyenne Jackson over Zoom, he’s coming to the end of a 14-day quarantine, ahead of filming a new comedy that he’s under strict instructions not to talk about.
“I can’t even leave the hotel,” he tells us. “So I’ve been memorising my lines, exercising, FaceTiming with my kids [Willow and Ethan] and watching a bunch of TV that I don’t normally have time to watch.”
Quarantine aside, life is good now for the 45-yearold actor and singer. He’s a regular fixture on RuPaul’s Drag Race, he’s a four-season veteran of American Horror Story and he has a lead role in the US version of our own Miranda, Call Me Kat. Not only that, but he’s one of the stars of the new horror comedy Werewolves Within.
