Selena Gomez Shares Intense Prep for ‘Emilia Pérez’
Selena Gomez, the American singer and actress, recently shared insights on how she prepared for her role in the new Spanish musical, “Emilia Pérez”. Gomez revealed that she took a hiatus from music and other commitments to fully immerse herself in the role.
During a Q&A session with the cast at the Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2024, Gomez explained her dedication to the project. “I put my music and everything else on hold to focus solely on this musical. Each day, I’d wake up and rehearse my lines repeatedly, even calling my Spanish teacher in the middle of the night,” she shared.
In the film, Gomez, 32, portrays the character Jessi Del Monte and described the experience of singing in the movie as “therapeutic.” Netflix unveiled the first trailer for the Spanish-language French film on August 26, highlighting the movie’s genre-defying and audacious storyline, which also features Zoe Saldaña.
Nigerian singer Asake speaks on his music career and stated how growing up in Lagos shaped his career and experiences.
In a recent interview, the singer shared how Lagos groomed him and taught him how to live:
“Lagos taught me how to live like a man. Lagos inspired most of my songs,” he said.
“I’m happy because there are a lot of people who make music out there and a lot of people who are more talented than me. I’m thankful to God that I’m able to use the talent He gave me not only locally but also globally. So for that, I give all thanks to God.”
Nigerian reality star and actor Adeoluwa Okusaga, also known as Saga, shares that kissing scenes on screen are not something actors actually enjoy.
The actor shared in a recent interview that kissing is usually scripted and often has no real emotion attached to it.
“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird. I have not really had any good onscreen kiss. It is weird having people invade your mouth with saliva.
“It is not something we enjoy. People think we enjoy it, but we don’t. We are just doing it for the story most times. If I had my way, I won’t kiss anyone in a film… There was a day I kissed four different girls on set.”
Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh speaks on her failed marriage and the truth behind it. It can be noted that the actress was previously married to Churchill.
The actress revealed that she was the one who paid for their wedding, stating that she even paid for his outfit.
She also shared that while she was pregnant, she still handled the wedding expenses alone.
