Jaye Davidson

Jaye Davidson was born to a black African father and a white English mother. His fame was contributed to when he acted in the film The Crying Game, where he starred alongside Stephen Rea and Miranda Richardson. Due to this project, he received significant fame, being nominated in Academy and BAFTA Awards for Best Supporting Actor, which enabled him to land acting credits after. However, it seems like fame is not what he really wanted. He eventually decided to leave showbiz after portraying the villainous character of Ra in the 1994 film Stargate. Two years later, he appeared in a documentary called Catwalk.

According to Davidson, he “genuinely hated the fame” he was getting from fans that he decided to walk away from the spotlight. Since then, he was more into modeling and was even involved in numerous remarkable photo shoots.
