, Hudson said, “The studio wasn’t [inclusive], and the studio continued not to be.
“So it made it very, very difficult because I was a part of it but then I very selectively was pushed aside … In the original script, Winston was in the very beginning of the movie. By the time we got ready to shoot the movie, Winston came in halfway through the movie. All those things … It definitely felt deliberate.”publicity campaign: He was not featured in the theatrical poster. He was again left out in the 30th-anniversary poster. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Despite not being included in the promos, Hudson is"so thankful" to the fans who identified with his character. He continued:"When the posters came out, I’m not on the poster. It took a long time. I went to the 30th-anniversary release of the movie and all the posters are three guys. Now I know the fans see it differently, and I’m so thankful for the fans because the fans basically identified with Winston — especially young, I don’t want to say minority kids, but a lot of kids.”
Hudson admits he never wants to"blame" anything on being Black, but it took him a good decade before he could"make peace" with what happened.“Anything bad, if you’re African American in this country, anything bad happens to you, you can always blame it on [being] Black. You don’t want to go there. That’s the last thing I want to do. I got nothing bad to say about anybody but it was hard.was really hard to make peace with.
