Marlon Wayans Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

[@jcel4378]

I don't care what anybody says, White Chicks is legendary status in the history of comedy films. It's crass, it's unapologetic, and it's still relevant in today's racial climate. Love, love, love it.

I truly enjoy Marlon's creativity overall, and how he can basically shape or change a character around certain aspects of a script.

When me and my brother didn’t have cable for a year in middle school we watched Don’t be a menace every day for a year !! Amazing times sharing a room with my brother just watching that movie.

[@missmimi610]

He is very underrated in Requim for a Dream. Its a very good role for him.

[@arielfrazier971]

I’ve always been a fan but this interview of the break down of these iconic characters, I’m in love all over again.. white chicks is still definitely my favorite movie and what 80s 90s babies didn’t grow up on the Wayne’s? Every day after school eating my ramen noodles.. After the Steve Harvey Show of course but Marlon has always and forever be my crush.. no one can make you laugh, cry, and feel protected through a screen in such a way as he.. Kudos to him 😍

This guy is a hero. He deserves so much recognition.

[@iampatriceporter]

I relate to his personality and soul so much

[@findout-YGO]

"hold my poodle" still cracks me to this day lol

[@TumeloMaletee]

I love how all the characters he has done still live him. One of the greatest black actors please tell him we want Marlon Ways show season 2

[@johnkim9086]

marlon was so underrated in the 90's it was so unfair. im glad hes getting his dues now. Req for a dream was so dope and his show was the best.

[@danielsackey1023]

The way Marlon talks about movies you Can tell he really loves movies.

[@tseamus8288]

Scary Movies and White Chicks are my comfort movies

[@cataclysm7256]

Wayan Brothers sense of comedy resonates with me, sometimes I wish they still actively making movies

I like what he said at the end and is such an encouragement , being 25 at times it's hard not to get discouraged when you feel like you should be this far or see others doing this or that but the truest people explain that it really takes time to master a craft . Ugh , this microwave society is so misleading because even if you do get it that fast , not knowing how to keep or maintain it will be the next struggle. Its refreshing when not only people acknowledge that it takes time but then let you know, even with the time it took , I'm just getting started... the best is yet to come!
