Brandon T. Jackson Says He Was ‘Curse’ by God for Playing a Gay Character [Video]

*Brandon T. Jackson says appearing in “Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son”, in which he co-starred alongside Martin Lawrence, had a negative impact on his career. 

The actor and comedian dressed as a woman in the 2011 film  and claims, “Everything went wrong when I put on that dress,” he told Comedy Hype in a new interview. 

Jackson says his personal life was a hot mess at the time of the film’s release, while his career was soaring. He claims to have been on “thin ice” with God for playing a gay character in ‘Tropic Thunder’ — but the Lord has forgiven him.

He also says that wearing a dress in ‘Big Momma’ was ‘worse’ for his relationship with the Lord.

Jackson added that Katt Williams warned him against taking the role, and noted how Lawrence hasn’t been the same since the Big Momma’s House films.

Jackson is now a Black Hebrew Israelite — and playing gay goes against his religious beliefs.

via TMZ:

Jackson famously played Alpa Chino in the 2008 Ben Stiller flick — a closeted actor who accidentally revealed feelings for a guy named “Lance” … it was a hilarious scene.

“I was on thin ice then with the father,” Jackson said on “TMZ Live” … “But, he had his mercy and his grace was there.”

Jackson says he broke a religious law prohibiting men from wearing women’s clothing — “And, when you break a law you get punished.”

Jackson says his career and his personal life took a serious hit and he even uses the word “curse.”

“If you don’t follow all the commandments that the Torah says to do, you’ll be cursed.”

Jackson feels he’s right with God now and everything is back on track — saying, “My life is great, 4 kids. Loving life. So, all praise to the father.”
