Rocky Horror star Tim Curry touches on his sexuality: 'It was the 70s'

""I did think it was risky and indeed it was," Curry said when asked about taking on the role half a century ago. "But I like risky. I would choose risky over anything. That's the best way to be," the actor added."

""Enormously, because basically he can fuck anybody. That's quite a charge. It's important to make that believable.""

""Well, I wasn't lonely! It wasn't too difficult to get laid. But it was the 70s, which is crucial to what it is, I think.""

""Well, I think that my romantic life is none of anybody's business, and I say so"

Tim Curry played Dr Frank-N-Furter, an androgynous scientist who creates Rocky to fulfil sexual desires. He considered the role risky and described it as liberating, noting the character's sexual freedom as a dramatic charge that needed to be made believable. Curry credits the 1970s with enabling a busy romantic life and found it not difficult to get laid during that era. He remembers the 1973 opening as underground and alternative and values the clever collaborators he worked with. Curry resolved to apply the role's courage to his life and maintains privacy about his romantic life.
