Marlon Wayans is never shy about mixing humor with insights into his personal life, and his latest revelation is no exception. The 'Scary Movie' star recently shed light on why he’s stayed single into his 50s, and his candid explanation has quickly caught fire across social media platforms.
In a stand-up set shared in a March vlog, Wayans, now in his 50s, didn't hold back. Speaking to an engaged crowd, he joked, “I’m 53. I ain’t been married yet,” before delivering his headline-making line: “No, I just don’t want to waste this d**k.” His playful reasoning? A belief that there are "a lot of needy people in this world that need d**k," and he doesn't want to deprive them.
“There’s a lot of needy people in this world that need d**k. And I don’t want to deprive the world.”
Wayans made these remarks while interacting with a bachelorette party in the audience, adding a light-hearted twist to a topic that often comes with serious undertones.
Though his humor shines through, Wayans has shared more heartfelt reasons for his bachelorhood in the past. In a 2024 interview, he spoke about his late mother, Elvira Alethia, and her influence on his life choices. He recalled telling his mom she would always be his number one before her passing in 2020.
While Wayans' personal life garners attention, his professional endeavors are equally noteworthy. Best known for his roles in the 'Scary Movie' franchise and 'White Chicks,' often alongside his brother Shawn, Wayans remains a powerhouse in comedy. In 2025, he impressed audiences with his portrayal of Isaiah White in the supernatural horror film 'Him.'
Fans of Wayans can look forward to seeing him again on the big screen with the release of 'Scary Movie 6' set for June 5, 2026, promising more laughs and scares from the franchise that made him a household name.
