Jenny McCarthy says that playing a transgender character on television was “almost too scary natural” because of how she feels on the “inside.”

The former “View” co-host told PrideSource that playing Brandi (who was formerly known as Burt) in “Just Shoot Me” in the early 2000s was her favorite role.

“I feel like that inside,” said McCarthy, 41. “I always felt like one of the guys wearing, like, a Playboy bunny outfit. I was David Spade’s buddy to begin with, so I was a natural fit, and I always felt like his brother. To play kind of the dude was almost too scary natural.”

McCarthy credits two gay men, whom she’s very close with, for helping raise her son, Evan, 12.

When asked how she’d feel if Evan, who gave McCarthy away at her wedding to Donnie Wahlberg, were to ever come out as gay, she added, “Oh my God, I would be so excited. We can shop! Do my hair!”

On her SiriusXM radio show, “Dirty, Sexy, Funny,” McCarthy talked about her idea that sexuality is fluid. And according to her, everyone may be bisexual.

“I really do feel like, with sexuality being more open and people coming out, there might be a little bi in everybody; it’s just a matter of who acts on it,” she said.
