Zoe Saldana has revealed her first kiss was with a girl.
The actress, 46, told W Magazine she was 13 or 14-years-old when the smooch occurred.
'It was with a girl,' she said. 'I must have been 13 or 14. I was that girl who said, "Let’s play house!" And that’s why I wasn’t invited to play at people’s houses.
'So I was already kissing a whole bunch of girls by the time I was 13 or 14. Girls are better kissers.'
Zoe, who has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Emilia Perez, also opened up about the celebrities she crushed on growing up.
'Prince and Annie Lennox,' she said. 'There was just something androgynous about them. I love a woman who’s masculine and a man who is feminine. I find that to be really sexy.'

Nowadays, the actress has been married to Marco Perego since 2013 and they share three sons together - twins Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, 10, and Zen Anton Hilario, eight.
Zoe, who has an extensive background in ballet and even starred in the dance film Center Stage, has been attempting to get her children into ballet as well.
'I'm trying. I'm not going to give up. Studies have shown that it is so therapeutic for men to take any form of dance at a very early age or throughout their lives because they carry so much tension and emotion.'
Her efforts have led to mixed results.
'At least my twins are tapping. My younger one, he couldn't give a s**t who is dancing.
'He wants to be Cristiano Ronaldo; he wants to be Lionel Messi. But my twins are very much like, "Yo, girls are in there? They're dancing hip-hop?" And they'll dance.'
Zoe was 11 when she began learning ballet, and she threw herself into it for the next 10 years.
'I did it for 10 years vigorously, sometimes six hours a day,' she said.
Dance became a source of comfort for Zoe, whose father passed when she was nine.

'Ballet became my therapy, my medicine, my confidant, my solace during a time when I was going through a lot.
'My father passed away when I was 9, and my mom went through a really difficult time. There were days when she couldn't get out of bed because she was so sad.
'When you're 9, you don't really understand that, but she knew that she needed to keep us busy. So I started ballet, and I went full throttle into it because I needed it.'
While Zoe never became a prima ballerina, she did end up showcasing her dancing abilities in the 2000 film Center Stage, where she played a dancer studying at an elite ballet academy.
'I was plucked out of the scene of young up-and-coming actors in New York City in the late '90s, and that was amazing,' she said. 'I had been a part of an episode of Law & Order and some commercials, and I was auditioning like crazy because the casting directors in New York are so f**king great. When they believe in you, they believe in you. The casting director for Center Stage just kept calling me back.'
