Machine Gun Kelly apparently had the possibility to audition for a vampire position in Ryan Coogler’s runaway 2025 hit film Sinners, however he turned it down for one strong purpose.
On the Aug. 1 episode of The Pat McAfee Present, the “Cliché” singer defined that he declined to audition for the film, which turned a industrial success, when he realized {that a} racial slur could be used.
MGK was not right down to say the n-word. Straight up.
“Like Sinners, I used to be alleged to be in that,” MGK stated. “The vampire, they’d me set as much as do the audition — it is the one which’s in the home, so he is the second vampire, the one which the man comes and eats the household. Within the audition, he has to say the ‘n-word’ and I would not do it.”
MGK is probably going speaking about Bert, the KKK member turned vampire portrayed by Peter Dreimanis. The character and his spouse, Joan (Lola Kirke), have been made vampires by Remmick (Jack O’Connell).
One audition turned down is not going to maintain MGK from pursuing performing. “I’ve loads of aspirations to be in motion pictures, it simply hasn’t panned out that method,” he stated. “I am on common timing,” MGK defined, earlier than including, “It’s going to align. The angels will put one thing within the works.”
“There’s been loads of motion pictures that come out that I used to be like, ah, I used to be alleged to be in that, or I did auditions for that.”
MGK, underneath his actual identify Colson Baker, has starred in a number of movies all through the years exterior of his music initiatives. He had a component within the Netflix motion pictures Mission Energy (2020) and Fowl Field (2018), in addition to the Mötley Crüe biopic The Grime as Tommy Lee.
If MGK’s purpose for not auditioning for Sinners is true, then good on him as a result of I do not assume an MGKKK would’ve sat proper with me.
