Turned Down ‘Sinners’ Audition

The Pat McAfee Show
Machine Gun Kelly says he nearly had a part in the hit flick “Sinners” … but, he wouldn’t cross the line when it came to using a racial slur and he lost the part.
The rapper joined “The Pat McAfee Show” from outside the NFL Hall of Fame Thursday … and, he talked about his acting aspirations — explaining he’s not on a strict schedule when it comes to his film career, but there are a number of films he’s seen where he’s missed out on roles.
Take “Sinners” for example, MGK says … he was supposed to audition for a villainous role in the flick — but, he would’ve had to say the N-word during the tryout in order to get the part.
MGK says he simply couldn’t bring himself to do that … a move that everyone on McAfee’s show applauded him for.
That said, Kelly isn’t giving up on his acting dreams … later speaking directly to the camera and asking movie producers out there to think of him for future projects.
Kelly’s picked up a few parts over the last few years … playing Tommy Lee in the Mötley Crüe biopic “The Dirt,” and starring in the 2022 crime thriller “One Way”
His new album, “Lost Americana,” comes out next week … though, it sounds like it should be called “Lost Acting Opportunities.”
