Nia Long is always gorgeous! And if she was talking about Beyonce in the quote from her interview below – don’t we agree? Beyonce is a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice, but she isn’t an actresss.
And that’s not hate – just an honest opinion. I felt the same way about Diana Ross until she played the hell out of the Billie Holliday role in ”Lady Sings the Blues”.
From S2S Magazine: “Nia was asked (in her PRIDE mag interview) what she thought about Obsessed, starring Beyoncé and Idris Elba, but she declined to comment because she hadn’t seen the movie. Although she did say that she feels casting has become has become more a question of prospective audience size as opposed to ability.
“It’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate,’” she commented. “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.’”
