The musician opened up about playing the character Cinna in the blockbuster.
One more reason to go see "
The Hunger Games" when it opens up in theaters on March 23rd:
Lenny Kravitz is in it.
The musician has taken on the role of
Cinna, the fashion designer and stylist of
Katniss, the movie's main character.
Kravitz recently revealed that he was surprised to know that many fans perceived the character as being gay.
"I'll be quite frank with you - I didn't know about Hunger Games - so when I'm telling kids and they say, 'Who are you playing?' and I say Cinna, they go, 'Oh, you're playing that gay guy.' That was an actual answer. I've never brought that up yet. That's how they've perceived it. So I thought about it, and I read the book and I don't see that he is or isn't [gay]. He's a designer, he's a stylist, he has gold eyeliner - that doesn't mean anything either way.", Kravitz said.
The "
American Woman" singer also
revealed how he prepared for the part of
Cinna: "I actually have a friend who is a dancer who is bisexual, and he was a lot of inspiration for my speech pattern and my rhythm, and kind of the way I sauntered in and out a little bit."
