Terrence Howard did not wish to get it on as Marvin Gaye on the large display screen … passing on a starring function in a biopic as a result of Marvin was homosexual.
The actor revealed his very particular cause for rejecting a Marvin Gaye challenge when he was a visitor on Bill Maher‘s “Membership Random” podcast.

Terrence says the film referred to as for him to kiss one other man … and he balked.
The “Empire” star says Lee Daniels was behind the Gaye biopic … however it was Quincy Jones who confirmed to Terrence that Marvin was homosexual.
Terrence says he would not have been in a position to kiss a person on digital camera “as a result of I do not pretend it” … and he doubled down, saying … “That will f*** me. I might lower my lips off. If I kissed some man, I might lower my lips off.”
Regardless of his reasoning, Terrence says he is not homophobic.
The difficulty, at the very least for Howard, appears to be how he prepares for his roles. He says of Marvin, “I can not play that character one hundred pc. I can not give up myself to a spot that I don’t perceive.”
