X Turns Julia Fox's Opinions on a "Real Man" Into a Kanye West Episode

Published 10/12/2025, 2:16 AM EDT

In the latest episode of celebrity chaos, Julia Fox's antics took center stage, leaving her recent co-star visibly flustered. Ironically, for a few, Fox seemed to have channeled her inner Kanye West and hijacked the interview like a one-woman show. Her objection to normally conforming and conventional gender roles might have turned a serious discussion into a tab bit of a spectacle. The scene was less Hollywood routine and more a masterclass in how to steal the spotlight, unapologetically.

During the BAFTA chat, Julia Fox made herself known when it came to discussions about masculine identities in her attempt at opposing her Him co-star, Marlon Wayans’ thoughts, asking, "What even is a 'real man' supposed to be?" as he tried explaining his ideas. Her pitching instead came off as interruptions, bordering on theatrical mischief. Spectators in retaliation did not believe her bouts seemed to fit with her ex of choice, Kanye West, with users claiming she was "a fourth-string Kanye West".

Viewers delighted in the comparison, not holding back on pointing out the actresses' past connection defeating her present-day ideals of "a real man". It was clear Fox aimed to claim her own moment, but the result was a viral backlash echoing West’s notorious reputation for chaos.

Social media, as expected, did not hold back. Comments ranged from biting to outright savage  jabs at her trying "to stay relevant" after being broken up with. Others teased, about her assuming she was the “main character”, implying she is still trying to play the star after her high-profile split from Kanye West. The consensus? Julia Fox’s antics reminded everyone that sometimes, the biggest star in the room is the one causing the most trouble, not the one promoting a film.

  This relentless interruption turned the conversation from film promotion into something resembling a travesty, eerily reminiscent of Kanye West let loose at the 2009 VMAs.
