American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy serves as an executive producer on the show, which chronicles the rising profile of American fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick – known mononymously as Halston.
The five-part miniseries stars Ewan McGregor in the titular role, with Rory Culkin, Bill Pullman and Kelly Bishop filling out the rest of its core cast.
The 50-year-old told The Hollywood Reporter: “I hear the discussion and respect both sides of it, I really do.”
The Scottish star then explained that he decided to take the role in Halston because sexuality wasn’t the main focus of the show.
