Marisa Tomei has revealed she

In an exclusive new interview with Closer Weekly, one of Marisa’s close friends revealed the actress has never been focused on having a traditional family. Next seen in Judd Apatow’s King of Staten Island, Tomei opens up to NewNowNext about playing a classic role with queer roots — and her own deep connection to the LGBTQ community.

Marisa Tomei has revealed she advocated for Aunt May - her character in Spider-Man: No Way Home - to be in a lesbian relationship. During a recent interview with Geeks of Color, as shared on TikTok by girlkissernat, Spider-Man: No Way Home actress Marisa Tomei revealed she once hoped for her Aunt May to have a relationship with Sony boss Amy Pascal. She plays hot-blooded seamstress Serafina Delle Rose, a grieving widow who gets another shot at love with a fellow Sicilian immigrant, banana-hauling truck driver Alvaro Mangiacavallo Emun Elliott.

NewNowNext: Serafina is a force of nature who loves hard, mourns hard, and fights hard. Playing her eight shows a week, has any of her spirit rubbed off on you? Marisa Tomei: Yes, actually. Was that on your radar while finding your character? Tennessee had a sympatico relationship with women and projected himself into his female characters because he understood their sexual repression.

So her being held down and repressed sexually is very Tennessee. Has that given you a window into these characters and their relationship? Yeah, to a degree. Being around him, seeing his glow and beautiful spirit, I could see Alvaro, I could see Frank, and I could see the special quality that made Tennessee fall in love with the Merlo family.

Serafina might be as close as you ever get to playing a gay man. I feel like I really understand his rhythms. Speaking of juicy roles, you played Mimi Whiteman, a powerful lesbian billionaire, on Empire. I did! I just happened to have short hair at the time. And she was a security guard. I mean, what an incredible honor just to be in a Tony Kushner play. We were very wealthy, fighting over every little thing in our house.

We had a great time shooting that. There was a lot of great fashion, and I got to flirt with Aubrey Plaza. I wholeheartedly disagree with that. So I do not believe that any actor should be limited in that way. My aunt was a fashion designer, and her business partner and best friend, Felix Arbeo, was gay. I was a very young girl when I met Felix, so he was always part of our family.

He died during the AIDS crisis. I sadly lost my high school boyfriend to AIDS, and also one of my best friends, a female. As a young woman living in the East Village, being told there was this plague amongst us, I had to go many times in a panic to get tested. When did you become aware of your gay fans? I certainly had an awareness after She Said, She Said because it won some awards, so that was a prominent reception.

It means so much to me. In every aspect of my life — physically, psychologically, artistically — I get great inspiration from the community and from my very dear friends in the community. At one point my whole team — my managers, my agents — was gay, so I have been literally supported by gay people. Is a musical too much for your gay fans to ask for?
