RuPaul's sisters helped him get his start in drag.
The AJ and the Queen star is the only son of four children, and he was raised in San Diego, Calif. RuPaul was raised by his mother, Ernestine "Toni" Charles, after his parents divorced when he was just seven years old. His three sisters are Renatta, Renae, and Rozy Charles.
At a television conference in February of 2020, Ru said that his sisters loved to dress him up when he was a kid, per The Sydney Morning Herald.
"As soon as I was walking, I was trying to walk in high heels, but I think that when you see young babies in strollers and walking around, they're always attracted to shiny, colorful things," he said about his first exposure to femininity. "There was never a time when I wasn't attracted to that."
