Taye Diggs jokes about upcoming Broadway role: 'I have a flaming homosexual inside of me'

Taye Diggs is getting ready to cross into all new territory as an actor, playing a genderqueer German pop singer in Broadway’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

TMZ recently caught up with Diggs and talked to him about how he is preparing for his new role.

“There’s a lot of glitter. I mean, I went through a stage where I was a drag queen in high school in tenth and eleventh grade, and I experimented with homosexuality, a** play,” he said. “And outside of that I worked the streets, male prostitution.”

Diggs then revealed that he was just joking, adding, “I have a flaming homosexual inside of me, so I’m raring to let that out.”
