Alan Cumming has branded the practise of circumcision for religious reasons as “ridiculous” and compared it to female genital mutilation.
The Scottish actor made the comments in an interview with The Guardian, and recalled his own experience of living in America as an uncircumcised man.
In the same interview, Cumming also spoke about his podcast, sexuality, his prolific career, and his experiences with convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein.
The US has one of the highest circumcision rates in the world, with around 81 percent of adult males aged 14 to 59 having no foreskin.
