Kevin Hart Says He Will Never Play A Gay Character No Madea movies for you … Via US Magazine reports: It’s been big week for comedian Kevin Hart , whose movie The Wedding Ringer was released on Friday, Jan. 16 and who hosted the Jan. 17 episode of Saturday Night Live. But a recent radio interview with the actor, 35, has sparked some controversy after Hart said he would not play a gay character on the screen. “I can’t,” he told Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club on Jan. 16 of playing a homosexual character. “Not because I have any ill will or disrespect. Its because I don’t think I’m really going to dive into that role 100 percent because of insecurities about myself trying to play that part. Does that make sense?” The newly-engaged Hart also admitted that he turned down the role of Alpa Chino in 2008’s Tropic Thunder, which ultimately went to Brandon T. Jackson. “The dude, he was doing a lot of stuff in the draft that I read,” Hart said. “It was real flagrant. … I was like, ‘I can’t do this.’” The actor and stand-up comedian went on to explain that he didn’t have any problem with the gay community, adding, “As people, I love you.” Do you think Kevin is wrong for not wanting to play a gay character??
Kevin Hart has stirred up some controversy within the gay community. In an interview yesterday with Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club,” the comedian admitted that he turned down the role of Alpha Chino in Tropic Thunder because, well… “The part was way [gayer] in the beginning. The dude… he was doing a lot of stuff in the draft that I read. It was real flagrant. It was a lot of stuff, and I was like, I can’t do this.” Kevin Hart: Why I Could Never Go Gay Hart made a point to say he’s “politically correct to the gay community” and that “I respect and appreciate anything and everything you all do. And as people, I love you.” But some are understandably upset over how Hart expounded on his comments. Could he ever portray a homosexual character on screen? “No. Not because I have any ill will or disrespect,” Hart said. “It’s because I feel like… I don’t think I’m going to dive into that role 100 percent, because of the insecurities about myself trying to play the part. “Does that make sense? Like, what I think people are going to think while I’m trying to do this is going to stop me from playing the part the way I’m supposed to.” Points for honesty, but critics will call out Hart for putting his own insecurities ahead of doing what he can to help social progress in this area. What do you think of Hart’s take? Is it understandable? Is it selfish? Does it make him homophobic? Take a look at Hart having a dance-off against Josh Gad and then react to his interview below.
