Top 25 Bisexual or Pansexual Hollywood Celebrities | Hollywood may seem so fancy and glamorous but in reality it’s a messy place. It’s not so easy behind all of those spotlights and red carpets, especially for those celebrities who belong to the LGBTQ community.
A lot has changed these days, and that being openly bisexual or gay or pansexual is more acceptable today than it used to be earlier. But today also, the coming out process is still very hard and frightening for the celebs who are actually bisexual or pansexual.
So, sharing here the list of top 25 celebrities you probably had no idea are bisexual or pansexual in real life.
Evan Rachel Wood
In 2012, Evan Rachel Wood revealed she was bisexual on Twitter. She later explained, “The reason why I came out is because I felt like now was the time to no longer be silent about it.” She has since become vocal against bi-erasure.
Fergie
Fergie is a pretty big name in the music industry. She was a member of the band The Black Eyed Peas, plus she also has a very successful solo career. However, her coming out as bisexual shocked a lot of people. Speaking about her affection towards both, men and women.
Fergie said:
I think women are beautiful. I’ve had a lot of fun with women, and I’m not ashamed of it. The problem is that I also love a well-endowed man.”
Megan Fox
Megan Fox revealed she was bisexual in 2011. Speaking with Esquire magazine, she said,
“I think people are born bisexual and then make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual.”
Gillian Anderson
Gillian Anderson is an American actress mostly known for her iconic role of Dana Scully in the the cult sci-fi series The X-Files. Anderson was always open about her life and her relationships, but it wasn’t until 2012 that she revealed that, beside men, she also had relationships with women. Yes, in an interview for Out magazine Gillian Anderson came out as bisexual.
“I was in a relationship with a girl for a long time when I was in high school,” said Anderson, adding however that her relationships with women “have been the exception, not the rule.”
Amber Heard
Amber Heard is an American actress. You might or might not know who she is, or which movies she was in. But, trust us, you have definitely heard of her (hint: Johnny Depp). Yes, Amber Heard was Johnny Depp’s wife, and they were all over the internet earlier this year when it was announced that they’re getting a divorce. Why is this important, you wonder? Well, Amber is bisexual.
She talked about her bisexuality and coming out in 2010 when she said the following:
“I didn’t want to look like I was hiding anything. I’m not, and wasn’t ever, ashamed.”
But her bisexuality became a problem for her because a lot of media started blaming Amber and her “bisexual tendencies” for the divorce. “Bye Bi, Amber”, “Amber Heard’s Lesbian Friends Put Marriage ‘On The Rocks'”, and “It’s not wise to marry a bisexual” were just some of the biphobic headlines.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is also bisexual and that she had public relationships with both men and women. Back in 2003, she said to 20/20 magazine the following:
“I was surprised when I suddenly found myself having these feelings I always had for men, but for a woman, and wanting to kiss her and wanting to touch her.”
Jolie was also quoted saying:
“I was open about my bisexuality because I wanted people to know that I had been with a woman. I spoke about it because I’d discovered something wonderful and I thought people should know my experience was very real — and very normal.”
Jolie also confirmed rumors that she had a sexual relationship with one of her Firefox co-stars, Jenny Shimzu. “I would probably married Jenny if I hadn’t married my husband,” said Angelina in a 1997 interview with Girlfriends magazine.
Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore’s life is like an open book — she doesn’t hide anything. She admitted that she had used drugs (mostly cocaine); she talked about her alcoholism; and she shared her story about going to rehab, twice. Her openness shouldn’t be too surprising though, considering that she technically grew up under the spotlights (she started acting when she was 15). When she was asked about her sexuality, Barrymore said:
“Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual. A woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else. When I was younger I used to go with lots of women. Totally. I love it,”
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has been a supporter of the LGBTQ community since the day one of her career as a singer. Do you know her song “Poker Face”? Of course you do, everybody knows it. Well, did you know that “Poker Face” is actually about bisexuality? According to the new Queen of Pop, as a lot of media calls her, “Poker Face” is about having sex with a man while fantasizing about a woman at the same time. So yes, Gaga bisexual, and she is pretty open about.
“It’s not a lie that I am bisexual and I like women, and anyone that wants to twist this into ‘she says she’s bisexual for marketing,’ this is a f–king lie. This is who I am and who I have always been,”
said Gaga a few years ago.We believe you Gaga, you were born that way.
ANNA PAQUIN
Anna is openly bisexual. Yes, she publicly spoke about it several times. “My sexuality is something I’m completely comfortable with and open about,” she told V magazine in 2011.
“There’s a lot of prejudice toward us but the more people talk about it, the less of a big deal it will be.”
She even tweeted about her bisexuality in 2014, saying:
“Proud to be a happily married bisexual mother. Marriage is about love not gender.”
Megan Mullally
Megan Mullally, the actress who play the iconic Karen is another bisexual celebrity we decided to include on this list. Back in 1999, a year after the premiere of Will & Karen – sorry, we meant Will & Grace, Mullally came out as bisexual.
“I consider myself bisexual, and my philosophy is, everyone innately is, although I’ve never had a full-on relationship with a woman, just a couple of what I’d term half-assed dalliances, ”
she said in an interview for The Advocate. And 11 years later, in 2010, she confirmed that once again, for the same magazine:
“I do think everyone’s innately bisexual, but, as you know, people acknowledge that or realize that in themselves to lesser or greater degrees. Some people are completely unaware of it, and some people are very in touch with it.”
Azealia Banks
In an interview with The New York Times rapper Azealia Banks briefly mentioned that she’s bisexual. But she also added,
“I’m not trying to be, like, the bisexual, lesbian rapper. I don’t live on other people’s terms.”
She’s spoken out about not wanting to be defined by her sexuality, and society’s obsession with putting everyone in a box based on who they’re attracted to. Despite her status as a “gay icon” and her large gay fan base, she’s made comments and gotten involved in online feuds that make her sound homophobic. To sum it up, Queerty published an article about her entitled, “Azealia Banks Says She’s Too Rich To Care If You Think She’s A Homophobe”.

“I’ve never said this before, but I am a proud bisexual woman”.
She’s taken some criticism and skeptics have accused her of saying she’s bisexual for the publicity. Arguments include the fact that she’s only ever dated men. But the public has no idea what she does in private, and just because she’s never dated a woman (and how do we really know she hasn’t?) doesn’t mean she isn’t bisexual.
Carrie Brownstein
Member of critically acclaimed band Sleater-Kinney and star of Portlandia Carrie Brownstein was outed as bisexual by an article in Spin when she was only 21 years old. Her parents had no idea she’d ever dated women before that. Years later, a New York Times article described her as openly gay even though she herself had never told them she was. She cleared up any confusion in a 2010 article (15 years after she was outed) saying,
“It’s weird, because no one’s actually ever asked me. People just always assume, like, you’re this or that. It’s like, ‘OK. I’m bisexual. Just ask.”
Cynthia Nixon
Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon may not like the term bisexual but will accept it anyway. She says,
“I don’t pull out the ‘bisexual’ word because nobody likes the bisexuals. Everybody likes to dump on the bisexuals… We get no respect.”

Shannon Purser
The Stranger Things star came out publicly as bisexual after getting into an argument with Riverdale fans in 2017 tweet, writing,

“I figured it out by watching The X-Files and by noticing my physiological reaction to it,”
she said.
“I thought at first my physiological reaction was a product of David Duchovny’s face but no, it was Gillian Anderson-who still is the queen of my heart. So I knew then.”
Difference between Bisexuality and Pansexuality
The definition of bisexual as: “sexually attracted to both men and women”. Meanwhile, the definition of pansexual is: “not limited or inhibited in sexual choice with regard to gender or activity.”
While it can be easy to say that both definitions mean the same, exact thing, the key difference between bisexuality and pansexuality rests on the focus on gender identity.
Bisexuality
Bisexuality implies that there are only two genders, that being male and female.
Pansexuality
Pansexuality, on the other hand, implies that there are more than two genders. Pansexuals have no problem dating or sleeping with a transgender person.
