BILLY DEE WILLIAMS – 83 YEARS OLD

William December Williams Jr or professionally known as Billy Dee Williams rose to prominence thanks to his part in one of the most iconic franchises in film history, the Star Wars franchise as Lando Calrissian. He first did his part during the 1980s installment and revisited his role after waiting for forty years in the 2019 Star Wars film The Rise of Skywalker. This was one of the longest intervals for playing the same role in a film franchise coming from the same actor.

During the 90s, controversies caught up with him and he was arrested after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. He and his lawyers posted a $50,000 bail at that time and up until now, he still claims that he never slapped or abused women. That case was later dropped clearing him with all the charges against him. At the end of 2019, Williams talked about his feminine aspects in an interview and used male and female pronouns to refer to himself.
