 Is Nicole Da Silva Gay? Partner

Playing a gay character in Wentworth has got many wondering if Nicole is really gay but despite speaking up against Lesbian stereotype, she hasn’t actually come up as a member of the LGBT community.

So, for now, the only gay partner we know she has is the one she has the television drama series, Wentworth

In  an interview with star observer in 2016, Nicole spoke up for the LGBT community and the need for Australia television and films to portray the relationships of the LGBT community, she said:

“For the most part, the LGBT community is proud and open to having a lesbian relationship – or multiple lesbian relationships – represented on screen cause they’re so few and far between.”

I think it’s really important, not just for Australian television but drama and film and television everywhere to have these people and these relationships on screen. It’s part of our tapestry, part of our community and we need to tell those stories.”

Her Tattoos…

One of the many things that starring in Wentworth has made Nicole do is getting tattoos.

She said she even has a disclaimer on her resume and showreel to underline the fact that the tattoos she dons on the TV series Wentworth are all fake.

“I know after shooting the first season I felt kind of naked without them,” da Silva said.

“I’m in two minds about it because as an actor, to have any major ink is limiting and you spend too much time in the chair covering them up so I have got any yet.

“I do put a disclaimer on my showreels to say they are not real.”

In another interview, she said: They’re like a more sophisticated stick-on tattoo like you get from two-dollar stores.

Speaking of how having the “fake” tattoos have changed her perception of tattoos she said:

“It was funny, I never really tapped into the tattoo psychology. I appreciated the artwork but thought I’d probably never get one, but spending three seasons as Franky, covered in tattoos, something shifted and I completely got it and understood why you would want that kind of artwork on your body.”

On how people perceive her with the tattoos on she said:

“There was a cafe I used to visit in Melbourne and they were super friendly and warm and one weekend I went in with my tatts (from the show) and suddenly it was little more reserved.

“They were a little more aware and they probably felt I was a lot tougher than I am.”
