HuffPost
While Howard said he'd slice his "lips off" if he had to smooch another man, he insisted to "Club Random" host Bill Maher he wasn't being homophobic.
Actor Terrence Howard turned down the opportunity to play Marvin Gaye because he just couldn’t live with having to do a same-sex smooch.
During Sunday’s episode of Bill Maher‘s “Club Random” podcast, the “Empire” actor revealed that he was considering playing the Motown legend in a Lee Daniels project before he said he learned the “Sexual Healing” singer was attracted to men.
While Gaye dated and married many women during his life, his sexuality was also the subject of speculation over the years.
It was during a dinner with producer Quincy Jones that Howard learned more about the “Let’s Get It On” singer’s private life.
“I was over at Quincy Jones’ house and I’m asking Quincy, ‘I’m hearing rumors that Marvin was gay’ and I’m like, ‘Was he gay?’” he recalled. “And Quincy’s like, ‘Yes.’”
