Kid Cudi has continued to expand his talents in Hollywood by playing a gay character in his latest film, James White.
According to Billboard, the film premiered during the Sundance film festival over the weekend. The film is a coming-of-age story about Christopher Abbott (of Girls fame) and his journey living in New York while grieving with grim demons. Cudi plays his gay best friend, a role he says didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all.
"My thing is what story are we trying to tell here," Cudi said. "I didn't flinch. I'm secure with mine. I'm an artist -- it's all about playing characters that are intriguing and stimulating."
There were a few scenes that were cut from the film including a few kissing scenes between Cudi and a male friend and the moment his character comes out the closet. Cudi says he didn't find out until his arrival at the festival, but didn't seem to be too bothered by it.
"When he comes out of the closet it's not really a thing," he said. "I think that's something the world needs to see. 'Cause it's not a thing. We're all equal. I'm mad [Mond] cut out my kissing scenes with David, We made out so many times -- and it was so good! That's my only gripe."
Some of fans were bummed about the deleted scenes via Twitter, but Cudder took time out to retweet them and give them a few emoji kisses.
