BUtterfield 8 41,371 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The singer auditioned for the role of Ramon, Lady Gaga’s gay best friend, who was played by Hamilton‘s Anthony Ramos. On Courtney Act’s podcast, Brenda, Call Me!, the singer said: “Do you know, it’s funny, I auditioned for that part in A Star is Born? “It was so funny to me, because they told me about it and they were like, ‘She’s going to have like a gay best friend,’ and I was like, ‘OK that could be cute.'” Adam Lambert, who is not Latin American, admitted he had reservations as soon as he saw the script. “And then I got the script and it was like… he was a Latin American character, like he was a Latino character. “You know, his name was Latino, a lot of the slang that he was using, he was calling [Gaga] ‘Mami’ and all this stuff and I was like, ‘Now how is this gonna work? Should I just not go to the audition? This is not my part.'” He admitted that he didn’t think he would have got the part anyway because he “wasn’t Latin”.

xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Tbh I appreciate why he didn't take the roll. But Anthony isn't gay... he played the role great but he's straight and it would have been good to see a gay Latino guy play that role End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s not from Italy though like her character it’s not the same. maybe Anthony has “gay roots” but my point is it doesn’t matter in the slightest. You don’t have to be the same person as the character you are playing that’s ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
