Terrence Howard Turned Down Marvin Gaye Biopic Because He Didn’t Want to Kiss a Man: ‘I Would Cut My Lips Off’


Terrence Howard turned down the starring role in a Marvin Gaye biopic because he didn't want to kiss a man.

Terrence Howard almost starred in a biopic of legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye, but there was one major hold-up. Howard explained that he turned Robinson down because he was already in “conversation with Lee Daniels about playing Marvin Gaye” in a different biopic. The “Empire” star said he passed on the project after he found out about Gaye’s sexuality from another music great, Quincy Jones.
