His remarks were reported as Williams identifying as gender fluid, but he revealed toThe Undefeated,in an interviewpublished on Wednesday, that he had no clue what the term meant.

Williams continued, “But he coined a phrase that’s ‘Anima animus.’ And anima means that is the female counterpart of the male self and the animus is the male counterpart of the female.”
Sexual orientation is not the same as gender fluidity. The latter refers to people who do not identify as having a fixed gender and sometimes preferring pronouns such as “they” instead of “he” or “she.”

In late November, Williams toldEsquirehe “never tried to be anything except myself.”
“I think of myself as a relatively colorful character who doesn’t take himself or herself too seriously,” he said. “And you see I say ‘himself’ and ‘herself,’ because I also see myself as feminine as well as masculine. I’m a very soft person. I’m not afraid to show that side of myself.”
Later this month, Williams will return as Lando in the highly anticipatedStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerfor the first time sinceReturn of the Jediin 1983.
The Rise of Skywalkeris in theaters Dec. 20.
