QX Meets…Willam

Photos by Victor Hensel-Coe

We speak to Willam about Footballers’ Wives, Meals on Wheels, and drugs.


Oh. Em. Gee. It’s Willam! We bloody love Willam! She personifies everything we stand for here at QX – being a mad slut.

She tore up the runway at Drag Race, then vomited on it. She’s got more subscribers on YouTube than Kassandra Powell’s dog. She loves fur boots. She’s got a book. She’s been in Sex & The City. She’s awesome.

Dylan Jones chatted to her about Footballers’ Wives, post-its and Victoria Beckham!

Hey Willam! We love you! Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever woken up?

A dust storm at Burning Man when I was sleeping on my RV roof because drugs and nature go so well together.

Have you ever done anything on a Sunday morning? If so, what?

I used to deliver Meals on Wheels with my grandpop to disabled senior citizens. The funny thing is he was always tanked from his scotch habit but he was a pretty good driver plus we were doing the Lord’s work.

In your opinion, what is the best drink in the world ever?

Semen.

Should drugs be legalized?

I think big pharma companies would shake in their boots if they were. But I haven’t drank in 3 years really. I only smoke pot and do letters. So yes.

What are the sociopolitical implications of Melania Trump’s jewellery box?

I’m a drag queen. There’s like 8 words in that sentence that belong on CNN.

Tell us what advice you’d give Johnny Rapid.

New phone/ Who dis?

What music do you like to pass out to?

I listen to Jodie Harsh’s soundcloud. She’s my favorite DJ/Producer and a pal.

We loved it when you threw up on the Drag Race runway – what had you eaten that day?

I made sure to eat dairy. I’m violently allergic to it and phlegm up immediately upon consumption and after that I can pretty much throw up on cue. Spiced up the programme though, didn’t it?

Which famous women did you aspire to be when you were a little boy wearing your mum’s heels?

The iconic women (and fashions) of Footballer$ Wives. I liked Chardonnay at first until her tits caught on fire and then switched allegiances to Tanya Turner.

When (and where) was your best shag, like, evvveerr?

Burning Man in a giant tent with an MMA fighter and then later in my RV with Courtney Act filming/taunting me about all my makeup being gone (but my lashes were still perfect).

We love Victoria Beckham here at QX. What do you think of her?

I’m a gigantic fan of anyone who can have a career change and be equally iconic in both fields. She’s aces to me. She also knew when to leave a party. How many comebacks can one stomach?

Do you like London? Have you been out on the gay scene here?

I adore London. G.A.Y. was the first time I ever felt like I “made” it. The kids all over the UK are so passionate about partying and that’s very me.

What do you think of Theresa May?

No clue. Someone tweet me who the hell she is.

Tell us more about your love for Footballers’ Wives.

Tanya Turner was just everything that a good soapy antagonist should be on a program. I kinda like to think I channeled her for my season of Drag Race, sleeping around with people in power (a Brit producer) and drinking and drugging.

Which artist, alive or dead, do you admire most (apart from Tanya Turner.)

I really, really, really appreciate Chris Hardwick. He came to fame first as a host of MTV’s Singled Out with Jenny McCarthy in the 90s. I worked with him on the musical Rock of Ages first production and he was always the dopest guy. He tapped into the cultural zeitgeist and founded Nerdist.com and wears a number of hats. Creating something where there was previously nothing and giving back in such a stellar way to the community that made you is my goal for the GLBT community (especially the guys with big dicks.)

What does the word ‘daddy’ mean to you?

It sometimes slips out when I’m getting fucked and I don’t know the guy’s name.

Did you invent post-its?

Arthur Fry from the 3-M corp…and I’ll take the business woman special to go cuz I’m due in Tuscon later for a business thing.

Who was the best peripheral character in Sex & The City?

Me in the last few seconds of Are We Sluts season 3.

Tell us what your ideal date would be. 

Fucking before dinner because then I could eat whatever I wanted without worrying about it ending up on my husband’s dick.

You’ve got a new book out haven’t you – what’s it all about?!

Suck Less Is a roadmap to hell for anyone who wants to have fun. There’s stories, coloring book pages, quizzes, shoplifting tips, a gay glossary, prostitutional adventures and so much more. I drop more names than the bible, too.

Anything else happening this year?

I’m recording new music with Courtney Act & Alaska Thunderfuck as the #AAAGirls, hopefully touring and writing more. Books, movies, whatever pays. You’ve got a check, I’ve got a talent.

FINALLY – give us a parting shot! Two sentences that sum up life according to YOU.

Treat people how you want to be treated and always lick it before you stick it. It’s the most couth thing I could think of.
