In a new interview, BillyPorter discusses why 'kids are ready' for his 'genderless' Fairy Godmother in the forthcoming Cinderella movie

star delved into his gender-inclusive twist on the classic character."It hit me when I was on set last week how profound it is that I am playing the fairy godmother; they call it the 'Fab G.' Magic has no gender. We are presenting this character as genderless -- at least that’s how I’m playing it -- and it’s really powerful."

The 50-year-old actor is not only ready to grant Cabello some wishes, but also to breathe new life into this classic fairytale character, which he senses the younger audience will easily embrace.
