Actress Zoe Saldana is having an amazing acting career as she continues to book a wide variety of roles in hit films, but the Hollywood beauty isn’t having the same success in her love life. Fresh from her most recent breakup from actor Bradley Cooper, Saldana is attempting to move on and now wonders if she should expand her dating pool to include romances with other women. Zoe covers the June issue of Allure Magazine, and the actress opens up about holding on to real love when she finds it, dating women, and why she wants the critics of her upcoming portrayal of Nina Simone to have a seat.
On being faithful, Zoe says:
“If I have something good in front of me—it doesn’t matter if it’s a person or a pair of shoes—I’m not going to test something else. It’s insecure, and it’s immature.”
On dating women:
“[I might] end up with a woman raising my children…that’s how androgynous I am. Yes, I was raised that open.”
And when it comes to the criticism she is receiving for playing Nina Simone in an upcoming biopic, she pretty much says her critics need to have a seat:
“Let me tell you, if Elizabeth Taylor can be Cleopatra, I can be Nina—I’m sorry. It doesn’t matter how much backlash I will get for it. I will honor and respect my black community because that’s who I am.”
Check out the cover for the upcoming issue below:
Attention Heaux’dom at its finest here ladies and gentlemen. This Nina Simone movie is gonna flop so bad, it ain’t even funny!
If she says one more thing about this Nina Simone movie I might scream. LOL.
So she’s thinking about dating a woman because she can’t keep a man. Oh. Ok.
Haha! yep…
If anyone needs to have a seat & a come to Jesus moment, its Zoe!
I see she’s letting the criticism get to her. She just needs to brush it off and stop talking about it.
This. How many times is she going to comment on this? Smh.
I like Zoe but still, she should not play Nina Simone and no Liz Taylor should not have played Cleopatra! We all know we can chop that one up to the racism of the era which that film was made.
Is an afrolatina person playing a dark skinned black person in blackface racist?
