Don Cheadle JET Magazine Exclusive, He Doesn't Hold Back
Don Cheadle JET Magazine Exclusive: The Roles That Win Black People Oscars And How Obama Wasn’t Gangsta Enough
Kudos to the folks over at JET Magazine for one of the best cover stories we’ve read in a minute! Don Cheadle is JET Magazine’s frontman this time around and he shows his funny side in the feature, probably a good idea since he’s preparing to premiere his new Showtime series “House Of Lies” very soon. He executive produces and stars in the show about a greedy management consultant who has a cross-dressing son and a father who lives with him.
Check out a few of our favorite excerpts from the JET Magazine Exclusive:
Don Cheadle tells JET Magazine his passion project and discusses how playing a prostitute will win him an Oscar:
“(Conrad Murray) is actually my passion project. You hit it! I want to play Conrad Murray, but I want to do him in drag and somewhat mentally disabled because that’s what will get me my Oscar. Oh wait, for Black people you have to be like a prostitute or a gangster. I’ll do him as a prostitute and I’ll definitely get that Oscar!”
He also talks about his 20-year relationship with his wife Bridgid Coulter. The couple has 2 daughters, Ayana, 17, and Imani,15:
“We were married in a pagan ritual,” jokes Cheadle. “No it just wasn’t planned. Our first daughter wasn’t planned and it just happened. So we were like, we’re together. Are we supposed to get married now? After 20 years, I guess we could. It’s just never been a priority.”
On Not Being Hollywood:
“It’s not me,” says Cheadle. “If I suddenly became ‘that guy,’ it would seem ridiculous. I’ll kill a hooker or something, or get into a bar fight with Jamie Foxx. I dunno!”
On Obama:
“I think he inherited an impossible situation. I wish he had not been so much of a consensus-seeker. I just wanted to see a more ‘gangsta’ president.
Good stuff right?!?
