The Brit insists he'll be donning "manly clothes" for his big night.

He tells Eonline.com, "I'm in boy mode, so if you thought I was in a girly mode, I am not."

And Izzard admits he's not exactly thrilled to be the host of the awards show, revealing he had to be "persuaded" to take the job "with a gun to my head".

He adds, "I think this will be my first and last awards show hosting. I don't like doing these things. I'm happy to give them (awards) away, but I just don't want to host them."

And, just like countryman Ricky Gervais, who hosted the recent Golden Globe Awards, Izzard isn't making plans for his hosting job: "I don't know what you should do for something like this. I improvise. I never write any of my stand-ups... We'll see on the day. It could be fun."
