Hello Suzy!
Suzy Eddie Izzard, the legendary British comedian and actor, has revealed her new name, saying that she is open to fans using it or still sticking with her old name.
Izzard was on the Political Party podcast recently when she revealed her name to host Matt Forde.
“I’m Eddie. There’s another name I’m going to add in as well, which is Suzy, which I wanted to be since I was 10,” Izzard said. “I’m going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard."
“That's how I'm going to roll, so people can choose what they want,” she continued. “They can't make a mistake, they can't go wrong.”
She also noted that after she came out deep into her career as an actor and comedian, she didn’t feel like she could start over and completely “redo” her name.
“And then I thought, well, if I’m doing she/her, why don’t I add that to the name? Because I’ve got ‘Edward’ on my passport, it’s quite wooden and big and I don’t call myself that. So, I just thought I’ll add Suzy there, and then Eddie, and people can choose what they want and no one can go wrong,”
Back in 2020, Izzard, who has starred in movies like Ocean’s 11, shows like Hannibal, and has many of her own stand up specials, said that she was entering “a little transition period,” and was using she/her pronouns and being “based in girl mode from now on.”
Previously, Izzard was known for wearing dresses and makeup in specials, describing herself as genderfluid. She also talked about being trans in her 2017 memoir Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chicken.
