‘If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off’: Terrence Howard explains why he declined Marvin Gaye biopic
The American actor told Bill Maher’s podcast that he had asked Quincy Jones about the singer’s sexuality and felt he couldn’t ‘play that character 100%’
That decision was made because he was already in talks with the director Lee Daniels to play Gaye in a film, but became alarmed when he began to learn of rumours about the Let’s Get It On singer’s sexuality. Howard went on to say that “it does not make me homophobic to not want to kiss a man,” and sought to clarify that he would have felt unable to sufficiently commit to the role. Maher was the target of an essay written by Larry David in the New York Times last week, spoofing his fawning account of a dinner party at the White House with Donald Trump.
