Mixed martial arts champion and The A Team star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is still obsessed with man-on-man sex ...
Jackson, who reprises Mr. T's role as B.A. Baracus, unleashed a homophobic tirade behind-the-scenes of The A Team and wants everyone to know that he is not gay, reports The Los Angeles Times.
"[A] movie crew member had wandered in on this final day of principal photography and — whether jokingly or not — called the muscle-bound movie star a homophobic epithet. Jackson had responded with barely contained fury. He threw the guy out, shouting him down with every conceivable gay slur. 'You're a punk!' Jackson finally bellowed.
"He claimed the crew member's intent had been to provoke a physical assault. 'That … wanted me to punch him so he could sue me,' the professional body-slammer explained, using a certain 12-letter curse word that he lets fly often in conversation... But the outburst seemed to also prompt Jackson, 31, to wrestle with other issues: 'Acting is kind of gay," Jackson said. 'It makes you soft. You got all these people combing your hair and putting a coat over your shoulders when you're cold. I don't want a coat over my shoulders! I'm a tough-ass [individual]!
"'Vancouver strikes me as a San Francisco-kind of place," he continued. 'And I don't want [individuals] getting ideas about me. I feel in my heart I'm the toughest [individual] on the planet. And I don't want nothing changing my train of thought. If you don't believe that when we step inside the octagon, it shows.'"
Unfortunately: Jackson's toughness didn't "show" last night when he faced "Suga" Rashad Evans at UFC 114 in Las Vegas. Jackson, who accused his opponent of nipple-tweaking and other "gay stereotypes", was soundly defeated.

This guy has some real issues. I saw a clip of an upcoming promotional show for the A-Team movie on one of the cable channels this morning.
Jackson was flexing and showing off his bicep and the male host reached over to touch it and Jackson barked “I didn’t say you could touch it!” and the host jumped back in shock.
Either he’s having bad testosterone-fueled reactions or he’s a paranoid closet case. Sad.

That's why I am most attracted to openly gay men. I don't have to deal with this homophobic BS. When I see an attractive man, I can recognize him for his beauty and physical nature. But I don't let it go any further than that. I'm glad Jackson lost last night. What a moron and an a**hole.

If the history of recent homophobic closeted Republicans is any clue, this guy will soon be busted as a power-bottom or something. Though with brothers there's seems to be a fascination with trannies. All in good time (right, Eddie Murphy?)

He's an idiot...
Rampage is QUITE legendary for his MANY shenanigans in and outside of MMA..
And this is no different.
His comment above is suspect just like him...
and Rashad Evans stomped that ass...the "rampage" part of Quinton "Rampage" Jackson never even showed up even when it was HE that wanted the fight...
I think he's gay and is in serious denial and will get busted with some skinny looking white twink from WeHo in abt 6-8 months...

He actually believes putting a coat on is gay

Obviously a self-loathing closet case. He could be a character in an E. Lynn Harris novel.

Here we go again... Another self-hating homosexual!

Bless his poor deluded heart!

That's why he got his butt beat.
Posted by: FREELEO | 30 May 2010 at 17:35
the straights can have him.
although i was amused by his colorful undies he wore for the weigh in that had "Boom" (I think it was) on the butt.

Pathetic...I definitely will not be seeing him in his upcoming movie. I'm glad he was defeated, he deserved it.

What an a--hole. Why do so many men assume that being gay is equivalent to being "feminine" or "soft"? It must blow their minds when they find out a "hard" or traditionally masculine guy is gay or bi. It really bothers me that even some gay/bi men have this prejudice. And why hate on the effeminate brothers? So many of them are brave to live their lives and be themselves openly.

I don't like Rampage Jackson AT ALL... Never have and never will

@ KP
You said it exactly right.
Posted by: Ravenback | 30 May 2010 at 21:38
@KP
I second that motion.
Posted by: MW09 | 30 May 2010 at 23:28
oh gurl...please.
Posted by: Byron Monte | 31 May 2010 at 09:43
Rampage has had numerous issues in the past, and this is just the latest flavor of his crazyness. Sad.
And I agree with Byron Monte --"Gurl, please!!" I hope that after Raschad beat that ass, he also tapped it too. I think that's what Rampage really wanted anyway....

All his protesting and showboating leads me to believe that he is struggling with issues. As the saying goes, "Thou that doest protest..." LOL
Posted by: Christian | 31 May 2010 at 12:31
Wow, what a tool. But then again, I didn't know this guy before and the movie looks completely lame, so...
Posted by: Ealan | 31 May 2010 at 19:35
Then people wonder why I surround myself with as few straight men as possible ... idiot.
Posted by: S. Flemming | 01 June 2010 at 10:02
@ S. Flemming
I understand fully. And I go a step further by not dealing with DL men. Too much drama.
Posted by: Ravenback | 01 June 2010 at 11:12
can hollywood find something else besides itself to make movies about. then glorify some moron like this... i think I'll make my own movies.
