‘I don’t feel that way’
With the film serving as somewhat of a critique of the music industry, Colson recently opened up about his thoughts during a conversation with Variety:
“I don’t think the issue is men or women, necessarily. I think the issue is entertainers choosing between being puppets or choosing to walk with no strings attached. […] We all have a moment where we feel controlled and where we make decisions that don’t reflect who we truly are.”
He continued: “I have a huge issue with how, when I go to events or when I do performances or when I do interviews, I have this like, smile that I put on. Because it’s not real. I don’t feel that way. And I’m just scared to let fans down because I don’t want them to think that I’m taking these opportunities for granted.”
Taurus hits theaters and is on-demand on Friday, November 18th 2022.
