AceShowbiz - Eminem makes a cameo as a celebrity who's being interviewed by James Franco's TV host character in "The Interview" and "comes out of the closet" on the TV show. A clip which just surfaced online sees the "Guts Over Fear" hitmaker having a chat with Franco on his TV show "Skylark Tonight" about his music before casually saying that he's "gay."
"When I say things about gay people, or people think my lyrics are homophobic - it's because I'm gay," Em says. Seth Rogen, who plays the show's producer, freaks out as he listens to the chat with other staff members, telling Franco to ask Em to clarify his statement. "People probably are shocked by what you're saying," Franco remarks later, to which Em replies, "I'm more shocked with people haven't figured it out now. I mean, it's kind of like I've been playing gay peek-a-boo."
"The Interview" is finally out in select theaters and online after a group of hackers threatened to launch a 9/11-style attack to theaters screening the movie which focuses on Franco and Rogen as they're told to assassinate Kim Jong-un, played by Randall Park. Fans now can watch the comedy via Microsoft's Xbox Video, Google Play and Sony's official website.
Following the digital release, "The Interview" has also landed on pirate sites. According to piracy-tracking firm Excipio, it was downloaded by 904,237 people as of Thursday afternoon, less than 24 hours after it was uploaded to file-sharing services.
