Julia Fox has come out as lesbian in a TikTok video in response to a trend that is going viral on the video-sharing platform.
The trend, which is seeing many users come out, has gone viral in recent weeks and Fox appears to have been the latest to take part.
In a video one user said: “I love when I see a lesbian with their boyfriend. It’s like ‘Aww, you hate that man. You literally hate him.'”
Fox then stitched the video with her response, saying: “Hey, that was me. I was that lesbian. So sorry, boys. Won’t happen again.”
The original poster then congratulated Fox in a comment, writing: “did i just facilitate julia fox coming out… ily queen.”

The actor and model, who had her debut role in the 2019 crime thriller opposite Adam Sandler, explained in her memoir Down The Drain how screenwriter Josh Safdie had been “telling her for five years” that she would be perfect for the role.
As reported by People, Safdie is said to have told Fox the studio, however, wanted “someone with a big name, like Lady Gaga or Jennifer Lawrence” for the role. As she wasn’t known in Hollywood at the time, Fox said she never expected to get the part.
Following a successful screen test with Sandler, Fox landed the part and said getting the news felt like she hit the lottery.
In an interview with The New York Times, Safdie explained how Fox’s character, Julia De Fiore, evolved in the writing process to become “more specific” to the actor.
“When she finished [reading the script], Julia asked me if I had been spying on her because she thought that there were so many strange similarities with the character,” Safdie said.
Speaking about how he would call Fox whenever he had writer’s block, Safdie added: “I would ask her for advice. The character was just kind of constantly evolving to become more specific to her.”
Following Uncut Gems, Fox has had roles in the 2021 crime thriller No Sudden Move from director Steven Soderbergh. She’s set to star in the upcoming dark comedy The Trainer opposite Vito Schnabel and Steven Van Zandt.
In a five-star review, NME described Uncut Gems as an “anxiety-inducing heart-attack of a movie that grabs its audience by the throat and shakes until there’s no breath left”.
