However, taking into account the heterosexual coding of the bodies that are placed in this position, what other textual possibilities might be presented by Elliott’s film? How might Priscilla be read through the frame of a heterosexual masculinity? In Vested Interests Marjorie Garber suggests that ‘one of the most important aspects of cross-dressing is the way in which it offers a challenge to easy notions of binarity, putting into question the categories of “female” and “male”’.40 |

| When asked why he cast three well-known heterosexual actors to play Bernadette, Adam and Tic, Elliott initially insists that he had ‘used the best actors for the roles’, but then goes on to expose 1994 his own sexual politics by revealing that he could have ‘gone the Julian Clary or Danny La Rue 1994 route’, but that he had wanted to cast ‘against type’. The inclusion of Terence Stamp as the transsexual, Bernadette, was based upon the ‘best-known older heterosexual icon’ that Elliott could think of. Guy Pearce, 1994 Elliott continues, is ‘a pretty butch character, presently riding a horse around on [The Man From Snowy River], and I said “Let’s turn him into a mincing queen”’.38 Hugo Weaving’s general popularity means, according to Elliott, that he can do just about anything with the approval of the movie-going public. It is clear then that Elliott’s own reading of the (hetero)sexual coding of these men’s bodies was clearly one of the primary determining factors in his casting decisions.39 |
