"Orange Is The New Black" actress Laverne Cox, 30, has nothing but good words for Bruce Jenner, 65, after the "Keeping Up With The Kardashian" patriarch confessed that he is a transgendered woman in a "20/20" interview with Diane Sawyer.
"I've always believed any transgender person coming forward and living visibly and telling their story is revolutionary in a world that tells us we shouldn't exist," Cox told AJ Calloway, 40, of Extra at The White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington D.C. "That move is deeply courageous."
According to Cox, she spoke to Jenner months ago and hours after the "20/20" interview aired.
"They were really happy with the way Diane Sawyer and ABC handled the story," the "OITNB" star told Calloway.
Moreover, Cox said that during the couple of times she spoke to Jenner, she was struck by how the members of the Kardashian-Jenner family members love each other and how much the parents are proud of their children.
A transgender woman herself, Cox thinks it is really beautiful to see that the Kardashian-Jenner family members really just care about how the patriarch's gender transition is all going to affect them. She also commends how the family "came forward and their hope to help people and to save lives."
Fox, what the viewers saw in Jenner's "20/20" interview with Sawyer was "a beautiful human being, who is deeply courageous, a parent," and somebody who is deeply concerned about his family and could no longer live a lie at this age.
