Machine Gun Kelly<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MGK says he simply couldn’t bring himself to do that … a move that everyone on McAfee’s show applauded him for.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Kelly’s picked up a few parts over the last few years … playing Tommy Lee<\/a> in the M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce biopic “The Dirt,” and starring in the 2022 crime thriller “One Way”<\/p>\n

His new album, “Lost Americana,” comes out next week … though, it sounds like it should be called “Lost Acting Opportunities.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Machine Gun Kelly Didn’t Want to Sin with A Slur … Turned Down ‘Sinners’ Audition Published August 1,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-53526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
