Terrence Howard: "If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off"

Terrence Howard has revealed the line that he refuses to cross when it comes to choosing roles.

The story began with Motown pioneer Smokey Robinson, who Howard claims invited him to dinner years ago because "he wanted me to play his life" in a movie. Howard said his great regret was turning Robinson down, because he was already in "conversation with Lee Daniels about playing Marvin Gaye" in a separate project.

But in the end, Howard portrayed neither of the legendary musicians, sharing that he stepped back from the Gaye project when he discovered how the singer's sexuality would be explored.

"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?,'" Howard recalled. "And Quincy’s like, 'Yes.'"

From there, Howard decided that he "could not" play the role.

"They would’ve wanted to do that, and I wouldn’t have been able to do that,” he said of portraying a gay relationship.

"You mean you couldn’t kiss a guy on screen in a movie?" Maher asked, to which Howard replied, "No. Because I don’t fake it."

"I couldn't kiss a man either," Maher agreed.

Howard took it further, adding, "That would f--- me. I would cut my lips off. If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off."

This gave Maher pause, with the podcast host quickly clarifying that while he would not go to the same drastic lengths, he understands Howard's rejection of the role. He added, "It does not make me homophobic to not want to kiss a man."

Mr. Terrence has had a lot of gayness being jammed down his throat. We’ve seen his penis. Perhaps somebody could clue him in.

What would he do to his lips if he had to suck a dick?

If I didn't know better, I'd swear he's a big old queen in manner dress and speech. Me thinks the Lady doth protest too much

Quincy should know.

And how is this not ***BREAKING NEWS*** ???

I had no idea Marvin Gaye, was gay.

Is this supposed to be common knowledge??

In what fucking universe is he cast as Marvin Gaye?! He runs his mouth just to hear himself talk.

JESUS, I would like to add Quincy Jones to my list of dead celebratory dinner guests. I would fill him with wine and weed to get ALL of the gossip.

Gay actors have to kiss women and lesbian actresses have to guess men. Terrence, you're very...limited.

Can you imagine if a gay actor said they'd never kiss a woman and they'd cut their lips off if they had to kiss a woman?

I think Maher is protesting too much, as well. Heard he was into t-girls

Eddie Murphy loved "high heeled T-gurls" and still know people who think Miss Murphy is str8.

He's digging his (stiletto) heels in way too hard for this to be plausible. Why do you care SO much Terrence? Why are you so OF-fended by kissing a man? Because you really want to, that's why!

Puh-lease. He thought baby wipes were the problem with women... says a lot

Miss Howard must have been paid very well to afford child support& ex-wives for all those children, plus living in Layfette Hills Pa. Some of those homes are not cheap, have a lot of land. Empire $$$ must have been real good for his closeted self.

Couldn't he just wash his lips clean of The Gay with Huggies® wipes?

Terrence looks NOTHING like Gaye, he would have been horrible. Plus, I always found him creepy, long before details about his relationship with his wife became public.

That’s night even the half if it R4. Quincy outed a couple of celebs in that infamous interview he did spilling tea on everyone. His family had to tell him to apologize.

But supposedly Marvin was gay and slept with Marlon Brando. Marlon Brando had affair with Richard Pryor (confirmed by pryor’s ex) and James Baldwin. I guess Brando like black cock.

In other words "I can't act."
