Meanwhile, the Hollywood star recently vowed to “celebrate his own Blackness” as he picked up a special award at the American Black Film Festival.
The movie star was handed the recognition award for Excellence in the Arts at the event last month.
Collecting his prize, he said: “They will always need Black people because they will. Tell you what the f— it really is. When I see all this talent, man, you can’t slip on your talent, which is why it means so much to get this award. People always talk about the Oscar, we got to stop thinking about the Oscar and celebrate our own thing, celebrate our own blackness. Quit thinking about the Oscar and that’s coming from a man — well I have an Oscar. I was nominated twice in the same year, but still quit thinking about it so much!”
