Jussie Smollett has given his first interview about the shocking racist and homophobic attack he was subjected to as he walked home from a Subway in Chicago last month at 2am.
The Empire actor spoke to ABC's Robin Roberts for an interview that will air on Good Morning America on Thursday morning.
In a brief promo for the interview, he is seen tearing up after Roberts asked him if he feared for his life at any point during the attack.
It is the first time the 36-year-old himself will answer questions on camera about the incident which shocked the nation and has brought an avalanche of both sympathy and scrutiny Smollett's way.
In the initial aftermath of the attack, Smollett received an outpouring of support from celebrities and fans alike who all condemned the discrimination he was subjected to.
Chicago Police Department launched a frantic hunt for his attackers who he said shouted 'This is MAGA country!' after punching his ribs, pouring bleach on him and tying a noose around his necks.
In the weeks that followed, details of the incident have been picked over forensically.
Despite finding video of Smollett before and after the attack, police have not been able to uncover any surveillance footage of the actual incident and they have not been able to identify the suspects.
They released an initial image of two men walking near Smollett on the night of the incident at around the same time but that led to nothing.

Worth a laugh or two?
Who held his sub samwich when he was supposedly getting his a$$ wooped? If I’m nor mistaken, the police report sayes he was eating it when they arrived.
“And he damn well better be held accountable to it.”
Don’t get your hopes up. He’s liberal, black and homo.
So a liberal, black, homo interviews a liberal black homo - must be quite a tough exchange.
What attack?
He wasn’t “subjected to” any sort of attack. He’s lying.

Is there some rule where every Black person has to be interviewed by another Black Person?
Yes, It also applies to gays, we have a black gay person interviewer...............
I agree. Very few people seem to pay for doing this. I think the sentence should match what the penalty should have been to someone actually carrying out the purported crime.
