More than 30 years after road-tripping in wigs across the Outback together, Guy Pearce is paying tribute to the late Terence Stamp.

Terence Stamp, Star Of Priscilla & Superman, Has Died Aged 87

The Oscar nominee remembered his The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) co-star as “a true inspiration” after Deadline reported that Stamp died at age 87 on Sunday, sharing a statement with a nod to his character.

“Fairwell dear Tel,” wrote Pearce on X. “You were a true inspiration, both in & out of heels. We’ll always have Kings Canyon, Kings road & F’ing ABBA. Wishing you well on your way ‘Ralph’! xxxx”

Written and directed by Stephan Elliott, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert stars Hugo Weaving, Stamp and Pearce as Mitzi Del Bra, Bernadette Bassenger and Felicia Jollygoodfellow, three drag queens who take their act on the road across Australia in a giant bus named Priscilla.

Stamp’s performance as trans woman Bernadette was ahead of its time for LGBTQ representation, earning him nominations for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA, remaining an LGBTQ classic. Pearce’s drag character Mitzi was the persona of Adam Whitely, an arrogant young gay man who often teasingly deadnames Bernadette as ‘Ralph’.

As the original Priscilla stars plan to return for a sequel, Stamp told Deadline last year that he wants to “get it happening, get it shooting this year. Actually, as soon as possible.”

In January, Pearce revealed they were “putting together a script, what the idea might be, and if we all feel that it’s worthwhile, and then we’ll do it.”

“I think Hugo and I and Terence are certainly into it, and Steph and Hugo and I are having lots of chats about what we might do,” he told Deadline’s Pete Hammond at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. “So we’re excited about it, but we won’t do it unless it feels right. We don’t want to ruin the original one.”

Pearce added, “Priscilla really enabled a voice for a lot of people, which is one of the things that we’ve been told this past 30 years. So it really was a fantastic experience, but it’s been a very meaningful film for all of us to be part of. And, you know, I think the idea of actually sort of following up on it, as I say, is sort of a great idea, as long as we do something that’s valid and valuable and worthwhile. I hope it happens.”
