Zoe Saldaña, a renowned actress celebrated for her roles in films like "Avatar" and "Guardians of the Galaxy," recently shared a charming anecdote about her first kiss, which happened to be with a girl. In a candid video interview, she fondly recalled the experience, adding her belief that "girls are such better kissers."
Revisiting a Memorable Moment
The actress, who has captivated audiences worldwide with her versatile performances, opened up about her early teenage years. "I think I must have been like 13 or 14," the star recounted. "I was that girl who was always up for playing house, I loved those games. It was just something that was a part of me, and perhaps one reason why I wasn’t always invited to everyone’s house," she mused.
Saldaña humorously noted that by her early teens, she had already kissed "a whole bunch of girls." She fondly remembered those days, marking them as a significant part of her growing up. "My first official kiss in a relationship, though, happened when I was almost 15," she clarified.
Embracing Celebrity Crushes
Apart from discussing her formative years, Saldaña also talked about her celebrity crushes growing up. She expressed admiration for iconic figures like Prince and Annie Lennox, noting their captivating androgyny. "There was just something so appealing about them," she said. "I love a woman that’s masculine and a man that is feminine. I find that to be really sexy." This openness about her attractions and preferences speaks to her broader acceptance of fluidity in attraction and identity.
Saldaña’s candidness extends beyond her teenage stories. She has been married to her husband Marco Perego for over a decade, yet she has consistently expressed a fluid approach to love and attraction. In past interviews, she has mentioned her openness to the possibility of being with a woman. "As of today, I’ve been attracted to the male species," she once shared. "But if one day I wake up and want to be with a woman, I will do that because it is my life, therefore it is my decision."
Acknowledging Androgyny
Saldaña’s reflections on androgyny are not just limited to her personal preferences. They extend to her views on family and relationships as well. In a conversation, when asked about the possibility of raising children with a woman, she responded thoughtfully, "That’s how androgynous I am." Although she did not explicitly confirm past relationships with women, her choice to leave "three dots" as her response suggests a playful mystery and openness about her past.
