RuPaul's Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio has said she would happily haunt US President Donald Trump from beyond the grave. Asked if she would ever haunt someone "out of spite, like Trump or something," the comic, real name Roy Haylock, told the Daily Star she would.
Seventh World Tour Announced
Bianca is preparing to hit the road again with her seventh world tour, which she described as "quite exciting, and it's called It Gets Bitter." The tour will bring her brand-new show to the UK and Ireland in spring 2027, with dates running from March 31 to April 15.
In true Bianca fashion, she even managed to roast herself in the process, adding: "Maybe I'm just that much of a b—- that ghosts don't even like me."
Celebrating 30 Years in Drag
Bianca is celebrating 30 years in drag, and she is making it clear she has not mellowed with age. Asked what she does "successfully, quickly," she replied: "I'm a hateful bitch, that's what I do successfully, quickly!"
Asked if there is anything she has become more bitter about over time, Bianca said: "Yeah! Everything! I live in America. Hello? You have no idea. You're very lucky where you are. The world is a mess, the world is on fire, and I'm an aging drag queen. I've got lots of problems to discuss with people."
Favourite Audiences and On-Stage Targets
Bianca has a soft spot for British crowds. She said: "Everybody in the UK has a great sense of humour. The audiences are amazing. I have to say, the UK and Australia are definitely my top two favourite audiences to perform to."
When asked if she would take digs at "problematic" public figures on stage in the UK, Bianca replied: "Any transphobe, any paedophile that always works to our favour." She continued: "Because people aren't talking about it enough." She added that controversial names like "J.K. Row—" and Prince Andrew are "pretty universally hated… top tier, top tier hateful people."
Asked to finish off a Joan Rivers-style gag about "yelling into a clown's mouth," Bianca turned it into a swipe at those in power. "I would say any of our politicians in America could fit that. I mean, I'm not even going to be specific. I have a list of them. So any politician in America is a f****** clown."
Aliens and the Afterlife
When the Daily Star brought up the US release of "alien files" and asked if she believed in extraterrestrials, Bianca admitted she was not convinced at first. "Do I believe in aliens? I have never had this question. No!"
She continued: "I didn't think I'd be a conspiracy theorist, and I think at this point with all the insanity happening in my world, I'm thinking, are they bringing up aliens to hide something else? So, sure! Sure, aliens live among us. Aliens live among us, why not?"
Even death and the afterlife were not off-limits. If the ghost of Joan Rivers appeared, Bianca said she would go straight for the big questions: "Oh, I would say, 'How is it? What do we do after we die? Tell me the secret! Tell me, is he real? Is Jesus real?' I'm just curious."
Bianca further shared: "I'd haunt anybody that owes me money, I would haunt any friend of mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd visit them. If I was a ghost, I'd be everywhere."
Career Highlights and Tour Dates
Away from the stage, Bianca has starred in the feature films Hurricane Bianca and Hurricane Bianca 2: From Russia with Hate, as well as the comedy special Rolodex of Hate and television specials Not Today, Bianca. She will return to television in Season 6 of The Traitors US. She is also the author of Blame It On Bianca Del Rio: The Expert on Nothing with an Opinion on Everything and made her West End debut as Hugo/Loco Chanelle in the musical Everybody's Talking About Jamie.
