‘I’M GAY’ EMINEM’S SHOCKING REVELATION

Controversial American rapper Eminem has admitted that he is gay. The star, real name Marshall Mathers, has previously outraged many with allegations of sexism and homophobia in his lyrics.

The 42-year-old infamously stormed out of the 2009 MTV Awards after Sasha Baron Cohen’s flamboyant character 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.”
