In an amazing Hollywood transformation, actress Glenn Close goes full drag king for her new role in 'The Singular Life Of Albert Nobbs.'
Although she appears to be male, Glenn's role is that of a biological female who poses as a man to find a job as a butler. The film is set in 19th century Ireland. The multiple Oscar nominee is not only starring in, but also producing, the big screen gender bender.

Close also cowrote the film, which is directed by Rodrigo Garcia (Nine Lives, Mother and Child). Before Close ever appeared on film, she starred in the play The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs — and scored raves.
