I could see him answering Marlon Brando while drinking a Colt 45:


“Now listen here white bread I've been getting hit on all my life. Gay, straight, and everything in between. But dig, my occupation is the female persuasion, so you gon have to move on with that jive talk”

Billy Dee Williams Says Marlon Brando Once Hit on Him and He Declined: ‘I Prefer Women’ (Exclusive)

In his new memoir, Billy Dee Williams says Marlon Brando once hit on him and that he declined Brando's romantic gesture. "I prefer women," the 'Star Wars' actor tells PEOPLE.

That said, the star is no ordinary Hollywood alpha male. In 2019 he sparked speculation around his gender identity and sexuality after revealing that he sees himself as “feminine as well as masculine” in an Esquire interview.

"I've spent a lot of my life around gay people," says Williams. "[The late celebrated Black writer] James Baldwin, who was gay, was my dearest friend."

Brando was drinking too much Colt 45.

I feel a lot safer with him off the streets

Lol. That phrase always had me shaking my head.

I prefer a burger over a steak. That means I'll eat both, but would rather have a burger.

But to say you "prefer women"...

Talk about fumbling the bag

Billy Dee just always seemed like one of the coolest black men on the planet to me. I hope I don't read anything here that changes my perception of him.

He talks with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz about his new memoir, "What Have We Here?: Portraits of a Life," and why the 86-year-old actor has always been – all evidence to the contrary – rather shy
