How to recognize a tap gesture while using an MPMoviePlayerController

I am attempting to recognize a tap gesture while a video is playing so that I can dismiss it similarly to how snapchat does this, however, it says that MPMoviePlayerControllers have no members to add touch gestures, is this true or am I using the incorrect method?

var MP4 : NSData?
var MarkerLong : CLLocationDegrees?
var MarkerLat : CLLocationDegrees?
var Url : String?
var videoPlayer : MPMoviePlayerController!

private var firstAppear = true

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    if firstAppear {
        do {
            try playVideo()
            firstAppear = false
        } catch AppError.InvalidResource(let name, let type) {
            debugPrint("Could not find resource (name).(type)")
        } catch {
            debugPrint("Generic error")
        }

    }
}

private func playVideo() throws {

    self.videoPlayer = MPMoviePlayerController()
    self.videoPlayer.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatMode.None
    self.videoPlayer.contentURL = NSURL(string: Url!)
    self.videoPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyle.None
    self.view.addSubview(self.videoPlayer.view)
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(PlayVideoViewController.videoPlayBackDidFinish(_:)), name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification, object: self.videoPlayer)
    self.videoPlayer.view.frame.size = CGSizeMake(640, 1136)
    self.videoPlayer.view.center = self.view.center
    self.videoPlayer.play()
    let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "someAction:")
    self.videoPlayer.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)

}
