Brandon T. Jackson was one of the comedians Katt Williams brought up in his "Club Shay Shay" interview, as he revealed that he passed on "Big Mama's House 2" because Martin wanted him to wear a dress. Katt explained that he told them to pass the role to Jackson, who ended up starring alongside Lawrence in the film.
Brandon has now responded, as he spoke to the "Breaking The Machine" podcast about controversies surrounding Hollywood, particularly regarding actors wearing dresses and compromising their integrity for fame. The host asks Jackson about a post he made on Instagram, in which he claimed to have never done anything strange for a piece of change, implying that he has maintained his integrity in the industry. Jackson clarifies that while there are indeed questionable things happening in Hollywood, he has never had to sell his body or compromise his values for a role. He attributes his success to God and emphasizes the importance of integrity both on and off-screen. Jackson also shared a story about Denzel Washington warning him about Hollywood parties and when was the best time to leave to avoid anything crazy.
The conversation then shifts to the issue of solutions. The host asks Jackson for his opinion on whether independent movies on platforms like Tubi can compete with Hollywood films. Jackson explains that it's more about elevating the quality of independent productions and investing in talented producers and actors. He believes that Detroit, for example, may not have A-list actors like Denzel Washington, but they have their own talented individuals who can create impactful films. He also mentions the importance of teaching and guiding young artists to create content that uplifts people and society.
Jackson concludes by suggesting that Katt Williams, who earns a substantial amount of money from his shows, should invest in young artists and filmmakers to help them create quality content. He emphasizes the power of producers in shaping the industry and urges for a focus on solutions rather than just pointing fingers. Jackson also mentions his upcoming book and conference, which aim to inspire and educate aspiring filmmakers.
