Men have been dressing up as women on several occasions since the early history of mankind. But what if, some of the most notable actors have “bent” a little bit and go for the challenge just to let loose of their “inner diva”? Would you hate them or love them? But one thing’s for sure, these actors got the balls, and just like the saying “don’t be a drag, just be a queen!” Who do you think stood out and deserves the crown?
