Terrence Howard attended the 71st annual Emmy Awards on Sunday night, where he gave a rather perplexing interview to KTLA on the red carpet. Asked about his plan to retire from acting after the sixth and final season of Empire, the 50-year-old actor spoke about “personal discoveries” and “the science that Pythagoras was searching for,” among other topics that seemed to confuse news anchor Sam Rubin.
“I was able to open up the flower of life and find the real wave conjugations that we’ve been looking for, for 10,000 years,” said Howard. “Why would I continue walking on water for tips when I’ve got an entire generation to teach a whole new world?”
“All energy in the universe is expressed in motion, all motion is expressed in waves, all waves are curved, so where does the straight lines come from to make the platonic solids?” he continued. “There are no straight lines. So, when I took the flower of life and opened it properly, I found a whole new world of wave conjugations that expose the in-between spaces that…it’s the thing that holds us all together.”
Howard also boldly stated that when he receives his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, he is “going to be able to prove that gravity is only an effect, not a force.”
And he shared plans to reconstruct parts of the solar system sans gravity, with an intent to publish that experience online: “I’m putting something on YouTube where I will build the planet Saturn without gravity — and build the Milky Way Galaxy without gravity.”
Aside from his head-scratching assertions, Howard did also explain a bit more why he wants to step away from acting. “I spent 37 years pretending to be people,” he said, “so that people can pretend to watch and enjoy what I’m doing.”
A couple of weeks ago Terrence Howardannounced that he would no longer actonce the final season of Empire had wrapped. “I’m done pretending. I’m just focused on bringing truth to the world,” he said of his plan. At this past weekend’s Emmy awards, the 50-year-old explained more of his career plans to no longer pretend to be someone else and just live authentically as the person he is. “I’ve spent 37 years pretending to be people… I think it’s time just to be Terry for a while,” he told Extra on the red carpet, as seen in the clip below. The Hustle & Flow actor detailed his upcoming book (‘One Times One Equals Two’) and plans to to promote it. “We are the only creatures in the universe that spend our day watching each other with all our great potential… I think I would like to spend the rest of my life doing something better for humanity, utilizing my brain for something other than memorizing someone’s lines,” he added. As for when Terrence knew Empire would be over, it all came from a call from the show’s creator Lee Daniels. “Lee Daniels called me and he said, ‘How many more do you want to do?’ and I said ‘None’… He said, ‘Okay, good, ’cause we’re thinking about this being the final one,’ and I said, ‘Thank God, ’cause, my character has never had a good day.”
Terrence Howard said he’s retiring from acting — because he has found the “real wave conjugations.”
“I’ve spent 37 years pretending to be people so that people can pretend to watch and enjoy what I’m doing when I’ve actually made some discoveries in my own personal life with science that Pythagoras was searching for,” he said. “I was able to open up the flower of life properly and find the real wave conjugations that we’ve been looking for for 10,000 years. Why would I continue, you know, walking on water for tips when I’ve got an entire generation to teach a whole new world to?”The odd explanation didn’t stop there.The KTLA correspondent prodded for an explanation, and Howard continued, “Let me put it this way. All energy in the universe is expressed in motion. All motion is expressed in waves. All waves are curved. So where do the straight lines come from to make the platonic solids? There are no straight lines. So, when I took the flower of life and opened it properly, I found all new wave conjugations that exposed the in-between spaces that’s — it’s the thing that holds us all together.”Howard said he intends to elaborate on Tuesday when he receives his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
“I’m going to be able to prove that gravity is only an effect and not a force,” he said. “I’m putting something on YouTube where I will build the planet Saturn without gravity and build the Milky Way galaxy without gravity.”?
