Or, Oh, I did auditions for that. Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that, he said. In the audition, he has to say the n-word and I wouldnt do it. MGK had auditioned for the role of Bert, a married man who, along with his wife, played by Lola Kirke, becomes a vampire after unknowingly letting a dangerous vampire named Remmickportrayed by Jack OConnellinto their home.

Speaking directly to the camera during the interview, he said, Hey, dude.
