Nia Long, star of Love Jones and Disappearing Acts, sounded off on fake actresses in the U.K. magazine Pride.
"If you’re a singer not an actress, you should sing. If you’re a rapper, you should rap,” Nia told the magazine.
In the July issue cover story writer Jessica Huie asked Nia what she thought about Beyonce's performance in ‘Obsessed.’
In the July issue cover story writer Jessica Huie asked Nia what she thought about Beyonce's performance in ‘Obsessed.’
“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes,’” she replied.
I am so glad someone in Hollywood has the balls to stand up and say she can't act worth a damn.
ReplyDeletePapa Knowles is gonna blackball her...
ReplyDeleteThe knowles ain't gone do shit. They have to pay millions of dollars to get that hoe any of the roles she does get. Hollywood just laughs at her no-speaking ass.
ReplyDeleteSpeak on it Nia! Let Beyonce know she can't bully her way into every situation just because she wants to be there.
ReplyDeleteShe told the truth and nothing but the truth. Hollywood is aware Beyonce can't act. Brad Pitt, for example, made it clear he did not want Beyonce in the Case of Benjamin Button or he would not be in the film. He actually reccommended Taraji for the role and we all know the rest. Beyonce can buy all the roles she wants and make all the box office hits she wants, but she can't ever buy acting talent. Acting courses can be taken but there still has to be something there. I remember reading somewhere Beyonce hired Halle's acting coach and Beyonce has been in at least 5 movies so she clearly can't act. She needs to accept that fact and stop hogging up roles a real actress deserves. That goes for the other non acting singers and rappers too.
ReplyDeleteBey is great at whatever she does. Most actor's first roles aren't that great. Even Halle Berry had some bad movies when she started out. Give the girl a chance and she will show you just how great she is when she's gripping that Oscar.
ReplyDelete^^You've got to be delusional.
ReplyDelete1.Give her chance? The public has done that, and she has been in 8 movies already. Her acting still hasn't been impressive. Her speech is horrible, which is a big no no for actors. So you and Beyonce can keep dreaming about that Oscar but it's not going to happen.
2. Yes Halle has been in some bad movies, so has every other seasoned actor, but that still doesn't change the fact that they have acting talent, something Beyonce doesn't have.
3. She's not great at everything and acting is of them along with that tacky clothing line House of Dereon.
