Terrence Howard I didn’t want to get an AS Marvin Gay On the big screen… Marvin was gay so he tells the lead role in the biopic.
The actor revealed his very specific reasons for rejecting Marvin Gay’s project when he was a guest Bill Maher‘S “Club Random” podcast.

Terrence says the film asked him to kiss another man…and he bald.
The “Empire” star says Lee Daniels I was behind the gay biography…but Quincy Jones I confirmed with Terence that Marvin is gay.
Terence says he wouldn’t have been able to kiss the guy on camera “Because I wouldn’t fake it”… and he doubles and says, “It’ll cut me off. I’ll cut off my lips.
Despite his reasoning, Terence says he is not homophobic.
At least the problem with Howard seems to be how he prepares for his role. He said of Marvin, “I can’t play that character 100%, I can’t surrender myself to a place I don’t understand.”
