Bobb'e J. Reveals Turning Down Gay Role For $350K+ In Hollywood Movie 

Morals over money will always be a W in my book

Period Bobby! He rather hustle hard than compromise his integrity!

Moonlight has entered the comment-section

I may have disagreements With this channel at times but when it comes to former black celebrities and black history, I'm tuned in.

The movie is Moonlight. Moonlight won a lot of awards. The movie dealt with the difficulties the main character faces with his homosexual lifestyle, sexuality and identity, including the physical and emotional abuse he endures growing up. It is definitely Moonlight. Hollywood was backing this movie hard in the black community.

Bobb’e from the town and we already built to not take no BS like that. He really grew into a man of integrity. Love to see it

He told diddy "no"💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

"Career reaching a certain height" 😂😂😂 you walked right into that one 😅

I don't think he's not saying the name of the movie because he may still want to work with the people in the future. I wouldn't tell either.

This a solid brother💪🏾… he trust God!!! He made the right choice.

Facts this brother has a good soul he never sold his soul 4 money and fame 💯💯💪stay strong B your blessings will come Sir

They offered him that role because they knew he was in need of a big pay day.

No one can give you peace of mind. People don't understand when you betray your faith it affects more than what that money ever will. The scars remain long after the money has been spent.

they always trying to pay ppl to play gay instead of just paying actual gay ppl to play them

This young man just defined integrity in action 🎬 pun intended

W Bobb'e J. It has nothing to do with hate. He's just not gay and didn't feel the need to partake in a role that didn't fit him

Katt Williams had a point when he talking what goes on in entertainment industry.

All money is not good money!

When in doubt, It’s good to know he had great people standing behind his decision and not focusing so much on getting the bag.

I bet he talking about moonlight

What’s up with Hollywood want black people to play gay roles and wear dress and stuff

I always thought he was funny and talented. Seems like he has a good head on his shoulders.

Comedy Hype, I really enjoyed watching this, so I hit the like button!

“Nucca could use this paper!” 😂

It is so sad that as a young man, he is still traumatized and hurt and needs healing. I believe what he is saying. Many of us can relate to people that we admired, let us down or hurt us. He can still have an outstanding career moving forward if he wants. If it was Tracy, if I remember correctly, he has been through some serious life events. Treat people well

He was typecast as the grown smart mouthed kid in every movie or show he was in.

He ain’t lying though…I watched diary of a mad black woman and I can’t see Steve Harris in nothing else and he’s not Charles 😂

Good interview.

Respect, keep up that Great Work

I am always for actors turning down roles they know it shouldn't be meant for them. I can never blame an actor for taking a role just for the bag, but there is always consequences and regrets.

he is so talented and handsome! he could act circles around the others

It appears that these actors are offered questionable roles when you’re in between work. We know who holds the keys in that industry 😏

I respect it. Do what u feel is right not popular or on trend. Follow your heart. Not knocking others who do!

Why do everybody keep on saying I got nothing but the utmost respect for the lgbtq😂 I don't because they're spreading their agenda to children😂 and that's a fact

Before I even finish watching this, I’m pausing to comment , time stamp 1:25. Bobby, bruh I have seen you in a very long time on the acting scene, and as a huge fan, I just want to say, bruh you’re naturally a highly talented actor! I was watching as a child and like so many others back then, your acting blew my mind, to be so young and energetic, you made your character jump through the tv 📺 screen 😂! I hope you read the comments to know how much currently you have a strong fan base. Now everyone knows how the movie, music, radio, let’s just say the media Industry play’s so dirty, the whole world knows now what you all have to face and decide how to play your hand or what you’re willing to deal with to get your fair share of wealth. Anyway stay true to yourself and take from there, how to move. You’re a genius bruh on that acting set, lights camera 🎥 action!

If that's the case, i respect him even more, there's plenty of much older dudes no matter in the hood or square, that would've played that role, for $500

"Getting paid to go to a family reunion" that's some real genuine love ❤

I wonder if he's talking about Big Mamma House? 🤔

I am a fan of this kid's work as a child actor and respect his integr. It's just a damn shame that the movie industry is parallel to the music industry. Once you become aware of the exploitation and push back against it the powers that be deem you not useful. Unfortunately this interview will make it tougher for him to get back in in a major way unless they can get him to go against everything he stated in this video.

Makes me think about Ving Rhames. He plays those roles way too well.

I liked him role models. He was so funny.

He looks great & is naturally funny, great actor. Hopefully he gets to resurge in the way he wants ❤

1:48 “I have principles”. I understand you are still trying to make money in the industry so you felt you had to dance around the specifics. But, like our Brother Malcolm said “make it plain”. Many of our people are still unwilling to tell the truth plainly and clearly.

Finally congratulations to this young man patience and faith , big ups to this Guy🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I bet the movie is Moonlight. The term is buck breaking.

Always stand by your morals and principles 💯. Choosing not to play the role of a homosexual does NOT make you a homophob, and this is coming from a woman who dates women.

Respects to dude rite here, & EVERYONE ELSE who can LOOK IN A MIRROR & BE PROUD… Shout out from East Los! 😎

Moonlight was the movie to everyone in the comments saying it wasn't, moonlight really opened the door for everybody that cast in it because they each went on to be in multiple big movies.

Sounds like if they're not willing to do what's asked of them the powers that be start shutting their careers down.

Good For him to still not regret turning that down.

That's Heroic, Never do a thing that will cause you to sin against God and Yourself. Your value and integrity is worth much more.

Broke back mountain was the film??

Much respect.. i know you get flack llike a mug from mugs.. best wishes and fba energy on your next journey,…

I thought about Moonlight

Amazing interview. Bobby’s well spoken. I love it ❤

Has to be Moonlight. Hell it’s so obvious he might as well just say it.

Moonlight was boring idc I was fighting my sleep watching that movie

It's amazing they don't offer those roles to that community but to a heterosexual man that's weird.

Yeah that Nate meme is undefeated around back to school times 😂

it probably was moonlight

Definitely was Moonlight movie

Moonlight?

Principal over paper well done Young Brother 👍👍.

Wondering if the movie was Dear White People in the Role that Tyler (everybody hates chris) played

I respect bro for keeping his soul, god was actually protecting him the whole time.. 🙏🏽

I wonder if they offered him a role to play a "Pimp or Gangster" would that match his standards🤔 I remember back in the day when black Hollywood was being offered the crackhead roles...... We need to have that same energy when it comes to other derogatory roles..... I turned down a few roles that wasn't attached to sexuality or peversion💯

Dude can start doing his own tubi movies with funny comedy and blow up he's not going to get case in films today when he was a kid he was the goat tho

I agree with him

Maj this guy was everywhere when I was like 17- 19 ish

I never even watched the movie Moonlight and I refuse to. It hurts me to see these agendas play out on our boys.

Blessed

I would love to see Bobbe & Marco link ❤

The reason he didn’t get any roles cause of Hollywood. The looks, he don’t have what Hollywood wants to push. Like Michael B Jordan , Edris Elba, Damson Idris or Denzel Washington.. Ppl need to realize Hollywood ain’t just about what roles to take… But Your Sex Appeal

Gotta be Moonlight fasho. He was just coming off School Dance. Him and the guy that took the role the same age.

Bobb’e has acting experience so he should do his OWN short film

It wasn't moonlight? Was it?

My first thought was Moonlight too.. but I don't think he would got paid that much for that role. I HIGHLY doubt it. It could be another movie 🤔

I promise you the first thing I thought was moonlight. Come to the comments and what do I see 😂

Step Your Game Up - Marcus PSP

This an example black Afro nation should take serious, dignity is on the line

Must be Moonlight movie

He ain’t even gotta say the name Moonlight, thank God he did not compromise his integrity

I bet Moonlight is the movie he’s talking about.

Somebody tried to grab his hang dang for real

I assume most kevin hart roles could have been played by him lol but kevin wore the dress

Bobb’e needs validation from other blacks to work? Well I guess that’s why he’s not a household name. He’s too worried about what others think. He’s not a good actor anyway so I’m glad someone who isn’t gay or isn’t diverse in acting didn’t get the role. But he’s proud to be on a show that humiliates and puts down black people in the name of comedy. After his second 15 minutes of fame he will fade into obscurity again.

Bobby J is very respectful. I watched many shows he starred in.

I fw comedy hype cause they give a tv one type vibe and the commentary has substance

Proud of you young man and great parenting did that. Alot of those children didn't have that

Man walked by faith not by sight 💯

they woulda flamed him on wildn out

He should play marshawn Lynch. They got the same voice

I wonder if it was moonlight

Your morals and values...priceless. Kudos to him. Once you put a price on your morals, that's when the devil creeps into your life.

He Would have been type casted Forever! Respect

Moonlight has to be the movie

Respect

He was great on House Of Payne my favorite show of all time

Awesome baby boy, you wouldn’ve been able to live the mockery that comes with that film down. You’re awesome!! ❤

Imagine choosing your warped sense of masculinity and pride over the opportunity to display some acting range and get a career off the ground
