American Rapper Eminem Reveals He Is Gay
American rapper Eminem is quite possibly the last person anyone would expect to utter the words, “I am gay.”
The controversial star has previously provoked outrage over allegations of sexism and homophobia in his lyrics and famously stormed out of the 2009 MTV Awards after Sasha Baron Cohen’s flamboyant chaarcter Bruno landed on him during the ceremony.
That particular incident was later revealed to be a carefully orchestrated stunt – and so is his latest shocking revelation.
Eminem enters completely into the spirit of things as he keeps a fantastically straight FACE
(no pun intended) during a hilarious scene from the equally controversial new film The Interview.
In the clip James Franco is playing David Skylark, a cheesy TV host who pulls off the celebrity scoop of the century when Eminem, playing himself, confesses:
“When I say things about gay people and people think that my lyrics are homophobic, you know, it’s because I’m gay.”
Asked to clarify, he bluntly continues: “I’m a homosexual… I like men.”
Behind the scenes, Seth Rogen’s show runner is having a meltdown, yelling, “This is the greatest moment in gay history.”
Another character shouts “Gay twitter is blowing up.”
And in fact twitter did blow up when the film debuted in American cinemas on Christmas Day and this clip starting circulating online.

One person tweeted:
“I’m DYING watching #TheInterview…@Eminem killed his part. ‘I’ve been playing gay peekaboo!’ ”
Another said:
“Man!!! Eminem gay??? on #TheInterview I love how they portray the craziness over a celebrity coming out. LOL! #Hilarious”
Of course, the film had already been at the centre of a media storm after it was pulled from release schedules on December 17 following a terrorist threat.
