Guess Who May Replace Tyler Perry to Play the Role of Madea?


Orland Jones is slated to replace Tyler Perry as Madea

.

Ever since its conception, the role of Madea has always been played by Tyler Perry. Many fans worried when the entertainment mogul announced that he’d be retiring his role as the unapologetic, untamed elderly grandmother.

“It is with mixed emotion that I announce that I will be unable to portray Madea in the next chapter in her journey,” Perry said in the statement. “The character has been such a gift and it was my hope and intention to play this role again in the upcoming film. But due to my commitments to the exciting new venture I am launching with OWN and Discovery Communications, I must now put all my energy into our new slate of shows that will launch on the network later this year.” The next statement Perry makes is shocking and leaves people wondering if he’s jesting or telling the truth.

“In my opinion, Orlando is the perfect choice to take over this role. He is extraordinarily talented and will make one terrific Madea! I have given him my blessing and I urge everyone to go out and see [A Madea Christmas] and support Orlando’s participation,” Perry said. So is Orlando Jones playing the role of Madea now?

The news that Jones will possibly replace Perry as Madea was met with an overwhelming majority of criticism. Many people believe Perry is the only actor who is “worthy” of playing the role. Others are stating that aren’t fans of Jones and will not support any Madea films if Jones is playing in the role.

How do you feel about Orlando Jones replacing Tyler Perry as Madea?

If Tyler is in fact "unable to portray Madea in the next chapter in her journey"...then it's time to put the character to rest...permanently.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

You read way too much into simple comments and take the personal lives of other human beings WAY too seriously. Try putting on Jada's dress and relaxing once in a while. Sheesh.

Also, Orlando Jones gotta eat!

I may get through my life without ever seeing a Madea project. I have seen a little of one Tyler Perry movie, but that was not by choice.

I feel about him the same way Marge Simpson feels about music: It's none of my business!

I'm surprised that this hasn't hit mainstream media. Since Madea is the real highest paid actress in Hollywood....

Tyler Perry is an admitted control freak over his plays & movies, which is why you see his name on everything practically on down to being Crafts Services Catering for his projects, therefore I don't see him relinquishing control over this character to anyone else...especially since Madea is supposed to be comic composite of his mom (now deceased), aunties, granny, and the matriarchs of his neighborhood growing up as a kid in New Orleans. I think both he and his audience wouldn't really trust someone else to interpret the 'voice' of that character other than than Perry himself.

I figured there was no truth to the story so I googled and sure enough it was an April fools joke from Orlando Jones.

Rumor Control: Tyler Perry Addresses Whether Or Not Orlando Jones Will Replace Him As Madea

Tyler Perry Says Orlando Jones As Madea Not Happening

Earlier this month, actor Orlando Jones released a statement claiming that he would b...cter Madea.

Well, Tyler Perry is now speaking out to address what was apparently an April fools’ joke that he says wasn’t funny and went too far.

via BET

Orlando Jones attempted to play a prank on Tyler Perry, but the multimillion dollar director isn’t laughing.

Jones put out a statement last week, complete with a video of himself in drag, claiming he is taking over Perry’s beloved Madea character so the filmmaker can focus on other projects.

The press release came complete with statements from execs at Perry’s distribution company, Lionsgate, and quotes from the famed director himself.

Now, Perry is saying the actor pushed the joke a bit too far. “That was an April Fool’s joke that HE did. Not true, and not funny,” Perry told S2S Magazine publisher Jamie Foster Brown in a text message. “When I’m done with Madea, she’s doare

Glad that this was a joke.

This was not funny at all!!!
