Baz Luhrmann has spoken about what he describes as a “weird fascination” with his long-standing marriage to wife Catherine Martin. The 63-year-old director of Elvis married the Oscar-winning costume designer, 61, in 1997, and the couple share two children.
In an interview on Elizabeth Day’s How to Fail podcast, Luhrmann said he can “understand” the public interest in his relationship. “My stuff is really camp, and our relationship is, well, camp in one regard. I use that theatricality, and there's an underlying seriousness to it,” he explained.
The filmmaker also revealed that his children sometimes jokingly call him “RuPaul,” referencing the drag queen and TV personality. The full interview is available on the How to Fail podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.
