ACHE FOR MARLON He “broke down and cried” on stage when he learned that his father had died right before his stand-up show.
It was MARLON Wayans who said he cried on stage right after his father died.
The funny man said that the fans were there to make him feel better.
Michael Strahan, host of Good Morning America, asked Marlon, 51, if it makes him feel weird to talk about such personal things on stage after showing a clip from his upcoming comedy special, Good Grief.
“No, I don’t know why, but on the stage, I am my most vulnerable,” he stated.
“I cry more on the stage.”
One hour before he went on stage, his dad died.
“I had two shows. Flappers, it was a small space, and I was just putting out stuff. My dad died, and I did my hour-and-a-half on stage, which was really funny. “They stood up and cheered for me, and then I broke down and cried,” he said.
