  1. Reportedly now hard at work on a biopic of Marvin Straight.

  4. “I can’t fake it”

    Sir, do you know what acting is?

  6. Just what you want to hear from someone auditioning for a headline acting role.

    The sad thing is, I assume he says this to women who have to kiss him on screen as well. Eugh.

  7. Then you will have to do a Gaye onscreen kiss, Howard

  8. People get asked everyday, would you kiss a man for a million dollars?

    Terrance Howard says no.

  11. Even if he doesn’t want to kiss a dude, his career just got the kiss of death with this comment

  13. If you kiss another man after the first the gaye cancels out and he’ll be straight again. Terrence just needs to do the math on inverse operations.

  15. Can he fake paying his bills with all the money he’s too proud to make?

  17. All the baby wipes in the world won’t convince him. .

  18. I want to hear DJay from Hustle and Flow sell him on kissing a guy.

  21. I’m gay af but I kind of get what he’s trying to say. But damn there’s about a thousand ways to say it that doesn’t sound like creepy and weird. I won’t judge you for not being willing to kiss another man but I will judge you for saying this.

  22. He was afraid of falling in love with that man. He doesn’t fake the love

  26. He did not do anything and will do nothing. He is a lunatic that thinks he’s going to win awards He is not a good actor and him playing Marvin Gaye is ridiculous.

    He can play Marvin Gaye’s Dad. That lines up.

  28. That’s an incredibly gross statement to make for every female screen partner he’s ever had, isn’t it?

  30. My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting? – Laurence Olivier

  31. Anyone this afraid to be associated with homosexuality has some gay skeletons in the closet.

  32. Who the fuck is interviewing Terence Howard in 2025?

    >”If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off,” the actor told Bill Maher…

    Ah.

  33. But you’re an “actor” your job is literally to fake it? I’m so confused

  34. And here I’ve been doing it for free like a fucking idiot

  35. However if he were to agree to kiss a female in an acting role, that means that he also wouldn’t be faking it and would be totally into her for real? Beware, females that play the role of the love interest of this guy.

  42. Famous anecdote about Dustin Hoffman explaining method acting to Lawrence Olivier on the set of Marathon Man, all the things he did to make himself feel like he’s actually that character all day long.

    “My boy,” Olivier says, “have you ever tried…acting?”

    You don’t have to be method, Terrence. You could try acting
