Actually while revealing that he turned down a , Marvin Gaye , film because he” was not” describe the late , Grammy , victor’s rumored gay identity, Terry Howard insists he isn’t racist.
The 56-year-old actor who won the Oscar for” Empire” co-creator, Lee Daniels, was approached by him this week for the role of the” Sexual Healing” singer, according to Bill Maher’s” Club Random” audio.
” Well, you know what happened with that; I was at Quincy Jones ‘ house; I’m just giving credibility, Howard said. ” So I’m asking Quincy, I’m hearing rumors that Marvin was gay, and was he queer?” And Quincy says,” Yes.” He used all to circumvent it. And I’m like,” I couldn’t do that,” I think.
You mean you don’t love a person on-screen, you ask? asked the ,” True Period” host, 69.
” No, because I don’t fake it,” said the actor from” The Best Man.” That may frustrate me. My cheeks would be cut off. I had cut off my lips if I kissed a man.
Maher also admitted that he could not love a person, which “doesn’t render me racist.” We all have” we’re all going to die,” the phrase”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””
” Do what you love to do, but don’t… aim it at me.” And I’m unable to completely enjoy that person. I can’t let go of something that I don’t know. So that’s the story’s final chapter,” said Howard.
” I am in complete agreement with it. I’m simply not in it, Maher said. Sexuality is a natural phenomenon.
Gaye was half married, to , Anna Gordy , from 1964 to 1977 , and , Janis Hunter, from 1977 to 1981. Hunter , inspired the 1974 music,” Jan”.
According to reports, Jones, who passed away late last year, claimed that Marlon Brando had “f-anything” and that he had sexual relations with Gaye in 2018. According to People’s information, Gaye never officially confirmed or refuted Jones ‘ claims, according to People’s reports.
After Sean” Diddy” Combs allegedly” tried to f-” him, Howard made the remarks just weeks after telling the” PBD Podcast” that he kept his “man card.” Next year begins the 55-year-old Combs ‘ federal trial for racketeering and sex trafficking.
