Ne-Yo turns down MLK role!!!

Ne-Yo decided not to avail the opportunity to play  Martin Luther King Jr. in an forthcoming film due to body image concerns. 30 pound weight gain is required for this role, which conflicted with the release of the singer's new album.

"They wanted to start shooting at the time my album R.E.D. comes out and wanted me to gain 30 pounds, so I couldn’t do it,” Ne-Yo explained. “I’m kicking myself but acting can’t take the place of my music. Plus I’ve been killing myself in the gym for months preparing for this album because I wanted a complete makeover."

"I definitely want to do more acting, but it’s got to make sense with the music," he said.
