Cruellafeatures Disney's first openly gay character, Artie, andalso pays homage tothe gender-bending musician David Bowie. Portrayed by British actorJohn McCrea, the vintage shop owner has aglam rock aesthetic, which thematically aligns with the primary 1970s London setting.In a 2021 interview, McCrea revealsthat not only did Bowie influence the Disney character Artie, but that the iconic artist isalso a major inspiration for him in general.

《库伊拉》以迪士尼第一个公开的同性恋角色阿奇(Artie)为特色，同时也是向影响了他的异装音乐家大卫·鲍伊(David Bowie)致敬。 这位由英国演员John McCrea扮演的古着店店主拥有着华丽摇滚美学，大体上与20世纪70年代的伦敦背景一致。在2021年的采访中， McCrea透露，不仅 Bowie影响了迪士尼角色Artie，而且这位标志性的艺术家也是他的主要灵感来源。

InCruella, Artie is stylized like Bowie'searly '70s alter-ago Ziggy Stardust,an androgynouscharacter from the 1972 albumThe Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Aesthetically, both figures have similar hair and makeup preferences, with McCreaadopting Ziggy's basic mannerisms. InCruella,Artie informs Estella that he does indeed encounter trouble on the street about his look, but he doesn't worry what others think about him. Bowie took the same approach with his career, evidenced by his innovative style. Bowie didn't just write about a character named Ziggy Stardust, but rather took on the persona, which was inspired by English rock singerVince Taylor. During a May 2021 interview(viaGay Times), McCrea explains how Bowie and T. Rex singer Marc Bolan influencedCruella'sArtie:

I remember when I auditioned for it the first time. [Marc] Bolan was given as a reference, so I had him in my head a lot. When I went to the audition, I wore this shirt as outrageously as I dared, something I would never wear on the street. I actually borrowed it from my friend because I didn’t even have anything that outrageous, and I put it on in the toilet of the audition. I was thinking of David Bowie to Mark Bolan, but David Bowie is in the back of my head all of the time, no matter what I’m doing – even if I’m just in Tesco. So, I couldn’t escape it.

在《库伊拉》中，Artie的风格很像Bowie在70年代早期的另一个角色Ziggy Stardust，Ziggy Stardust是1972年专辑The Rise nd Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars中的一个中性角色。在美学层面，这两个人物都有着相似的发型和妆容偏好，McCrea采取了Ziggy的基本举止。在电影《库伊拉》中，Artie告诉 Estella他的外貌在街上确实会为他招来一些麻烦，但是他并不担心别人怎么看他。Bowie在自己的职业生涯中也采取了同样的方法，他的革新风格就是明证。Ziggy Stardust是受英国摇滚歌手Vince Taylor启发创造的角色，Bowie不单是创造了这个角色，更是扮演了这个角色。在2021年五月的一次采访中（源于Gay Times）， McCrea解释了Bowie和 T. Rex主唱 Marc Bolan是如何影响Artie这个角色的：

我记得我第一次试镜的时候，Marc Bolan被给到作为参考，所以他经常出现在我的脑海里。当我去试镜的时候，我大胆地穿了这件衬衫，我从来不会在街上穿这件衣服。其实（这件衬衫）是我从朋友那借来的，因为我根本就没有那么夸张的衣服，然后我在试镜的厕所里穿上它。我从David Bowie想到Marc Bolan，David Bowie一直在我的脑海里，无论我在做什么——即使我只是在Tesco（一家连锁超市）。所以，我无法逃离。

BeforeCruella, McCrea portrayed otherandrogynous and cross-dressing character in previous roles. He appearedas a younger version of the drag queen Loco Chanelle in the musicalEverybody's Talking About Jamie, and alsoportrayed Angelon stageinRent. Although such characters are wholly unique, with their own distinct personalities and world views, they are indeed connected by glam rock sensibilities that Bowie made popular during the '70s. In fact, McCrea reveals in the aforementionedGay Timesinterview that Artie was originally a drag queen, and explains why that detail was left out:

Interestingly, in one of the first scripts, he was a drag queen. But then, that idea changed because everyone realised it was more important, like I said, that it’s a lifestyle choice for him – it’s not a performance. But yeah, he’s fabulous in every single way. I think it’s important to say he is queer because obviously, lots of people were dressed like that at the time that weren’t necessarily queer, but in my head, he always was.

在出演《库伊拉》前， McCrea之前也曾扮演过中性和异装的角色。他在音乐剧《人人都在谈论杰米》中扮演年轻版的变装皇后Loco Chanelle，并在《吉屋出租》中出演过 Angel。尽管这些角色各自都是独一无二的，有着自己独特的个性和世界观，ta们确实都是由Bowie在70年代流行起来的华丽摇滚的感觉连接起来。事实上，McCrea在之前提到的 Gay Times的采访中透露到Artie其实是个变装皇后，并解释了为什么这一细节被忽略了：

有趣的是，在最初的剧本中，他曾是一个变装皇后。但是后来，这一想法改变了，因为所有人都认为这对他来说更重要，正如我所说，这是一种生活方式的选择，而不是表演。不过确实，他在各个方面都绝美。我认为说他是酷儿非常重要，因为很明显，当时很多人穿成那样但不一定是酷儿，不过在我看来，他一直都是。

InCruella,Artie's performance channels the spirit of'70s rock. More importantly, he embraced the spirit of David Bowie. The movie focused on Estella's journey to realizing that she was and had always been Cruella inside. But Artie is to be commended for living authentically at a time in which androgyny was judged even more than it is now, inspired by Bowie, who did the same.Artie is not just a gay shop owner inDisney'sCruella, nor is he just a fan of '70s rock.He contains multitudes and finds inner strength by loving himself, first and foremost.

在《库伊拉》中，Artie的表演体现了70年代摇滚的精神。更重要的是，他信奉David Bowie的精神。这部电影聚焦于Estella意识到她的内心一直是 Cruella 的过程。但在一个对中性风格评判得比现在还厉害的时代，受Bowie启发以真实面目生活的Artie值得称赞。Artie不只是迪斯尼电影《库伊拉》中的一个同性恋店主，也不只是一个70年代摇滚的粉丝。他包含了种种，并通过爱自己找到内在的力量，这是首要的。
