Terrence Howard speaks about being replaced
Posted by Media Outrage on October 22nd, 2008
Terrence Howard spoke about being replaced in Iron Man 2 by Don Cheadle. Here’s what Quinton Spivey had to say:
Via Yahoo:
“It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation, [it] just up and vanished. And I read something in the trades that implicated it was about money… but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren’t worth the paper that they’re printed on sometimes. And promises aren’t kept, and good faith negotiations aren’t always held up.”
For his part, Howard doesn’t seem to be holding onto any grudges. He is touring in support of his album, a collection of self-penned, jazz-inspired tunes on which he sings and plays guitar. He told NPR he is trying to hold onto the calm nature he developed growing up in a tough neighborhood
“I found a peacefulness in me, though, that — even in getting slapped when I was a little kid, when I would get attacked — even though I was strong enough to stop it I would never hit back, back then… Even now, I didn’t hit back.”

I agree- there’s probably much more to this story. For all his mellowness though, TH can NOT keep quiet about nothin’ & that could definitely play a role.
