Hollywood - Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, a mixed martial arts fighter who's appearing in the new "A-Team" movie, says acting is "gay."

Jackson is reprising the role of B.A. Baracus made famous by Mr. T.

"Acting is kind of gay... it makes you soft," Jackson told the Los Angeles Times. "You got all these people combing your hair and putting a coat over your shoulders when you're cold."

These comments come on top of an incident on the "A-Team" set during which another person apparently used a gay slur against Jackson. Witnesses say he freaked out, and tossed the person off the set.

Jackson also had some bizarre comments about the location of the principal photography for the movie: Vancouver.

"Vancouver strikes me as a San Francisco-kind of place," he told the Los Angeles Times "And I don't want [people] getting ideas about me. I feel in my heart I'm the toughest [person] on the planet."

The rest of the cast of 'A-Team' includes Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson and Jessica Biel. The movie will be released on June 11.
