‘You can call me Suzy’: Eddie Izzard introduces new feminine name she has wanted to use since the age of 10 – but says people can choose which one they want to address her by

Eddie Izzard has introduced her new feminine name which she has wanted to use since she was 10 years old. 

The comedian and aspiring MP, 61, revealed she now alternates between her original name and a new moniker but says people can choose which name they want to address her by. 

The gender-fluid performer was interviewed on Matt Forde’s Political Party podcast on Monday and she shared her new name during the chat. 

Eddie has used she/her pronouns since 2020, but ‘doesn’t mind’ if people use him/her pronouns to address her. 

She said: ‘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. I’m going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard.’

She said: '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. I¿m going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard' (stock image)

Eddie then added: ‘That’s how I’m going to roll, so people can choose what they want. They can’t make a mistake, they can’t go wrong.’

Eddie previously said to Huffington Post: ‘I spent 50 years predominantly in boy mode, so let’s try the next 50 in girl mode.

‘It’s just a language adjustment. And no one should get het up about it.

‘I’m still gender fluid and I tell everyone that’s supported me, ‘Relax people, he or she, it doesn’t really matter.’ The pronoun thing isn’t the important thing, the important thing was coming out [as trans] back in 1985, that was the tough time.’

Eddie calls herself ‘somewhat boy-ish and somewhat girl-ish’. She uses the word ‘transgender’ as an umbrella term. 

She became famous as a comedian who cross-dressed, but now identifies as a gender-fluid trans woman

Eddie announced two years ago that she would prefer female pronouns and intends to be ‘based in girl mode from now on’

Speaking to The Guardian about reverting to playing a male role in Netflix’s 2021 drama Stay Close and gushed about her co-stars ‘promoting’ her to female pronouns.

It came after a 2021 appearance on the Sky Arts programme Portrait Artist of the Year first revealed her desired change of pronoun.  

Eddie admitted she couldn’t believe that some were surprised by her words because she has felt this way since childhood.

She said: ‘I’ve known I was trans since I was four or five. My feelings from the age of five have not moved an inch. Have not moved a centimetre, a millimetre even. 

‘Thirty-five years ago, I came out. The rest is language. I went through such hell since ’85 that the idea that I’ve come out recently just sounds ridiculous.’ 

Eddie’s latest revelation comes after the star revealed she spent much of her life secretly having ‘breast envy’ as she observed other women’s bosoms.

The Yemen-born comedian recently announced herself to be in ‘girl mode’ after confirming that she is a gender fluid woman.

And while the star spoke about her dreams of developing the form of a woman with an ample chest, she also stated that she hasn’t ruled out using non-female pronouns. 

In a new interview with The Guardian, Eddie said: ‘I’ve had boob envy since my teens. Just when teenage girls of my age were going “I want boobs”, I was thinking yeah me too. But I couldn’t say it. 

‘They talk about penis envy, and I believe some women suffer penis envy. I cannot for the life of me get my head around this. But yes, I’ve always had breasts envy.’
