Kevin Hart is currently taking over the box office with his blockbuster hits as he brings the comedic relief in all of his films. But will he ever venture into playing a gay role? Find out what he said and get the deets on the time he spilled juice on Beyonce and Jay Z inside….
Kevin Hart has been putting in work and put three blockbuster films under his belt in 2014. And he made plenty of money. But would he ever consider starring in a film as a gay character? Right now...NO, but he's not totally against it.
Yesterday, “The Wedding Ringer” star hit up Power 105’s The Breakfast Club to chat it up about his new rom-com (which hit theaters yesterday) when he was asked if there was ever a role he regrets not taking up. He revealed he regrets not taking the role as rapper-turned-actor Alpa Chino (played by Brandon T. Jackson) in the 2008 action-comedy Tropic Thunder.
At the time, Kevin decided not to do the film because after reading the draft, he felt the character was “real flagrant” and that his insecurities would hinder him from delving into the role 100%.
He explained,
“I can’t, I can’t do this. I feel like I can’t do this because I don’t I think I’m really going to dive into the role 100% because of the insecurities about myself trying to play that part. What I think people are going to think while I’m trying to do this is going to stop me from playing that part the way I’m suppose to. I’m not at that acting point in my career".
But, he hasn’t completely ruled it out. He said if he gets to a point in his career and feels like the part is right, he may do it. He dished,
“Seven years later when I’m done this part and you say ‘Hey Kevin, I thought you said you would never do it.’ [If] I’m at a point where I want to take a chance, this role made sense, the story made sense, I may do it.”
The Ride Along star also talked about the time he spilled “a carafe of pineapple juice” on Beyonce and Jay Z at a party in Houston during All-Star Weekend. He said he went to reach for a drink to pour it up when he knocked over the juice and it spilled all over Hov. Then Bey pops up from behind Jay and screams “What’s all this on my leg?!”
Then he jokingly says, “I was like ‘yo, here!’ I pulled out $20 and I just gave it to him in his hand and I was like ‘just take care of whatever’ and I just left and never went back”. HA!
Also in the interview he talked about how his character in The Wedding Ringer is a completely different role than what he normally plays, calling it the best movie he has done thus far.
