Miriam Margolyes Opens Up About Body Acceptance and Coming Out in Revealing Vogue Cover Shoot

For this special occasion, the 82-year-old actress agreed to pose nude, using it as a way to exorcise past demons. She explains this in her interview, saying, “I hate my body. I hate my big breasts, my sagging belly, and my small legs. I’m far from being comfortable in my own skin, but I’ve learned to live with it.”

Among the many topics discussed, Miriam Margolyes reflects on her coming out experience and the difficulties she faced with her parents. “It hurt me deeply. My mother made me promise that I would never have sexual relationships with a woman. I regret hurting my parents. I think they never fully accepted that I am a lesbian. But it doesn’t diminish the love I have for them. This is who I am. I love women, and I am proud of it,” she declared.
