In a recent interview, Alexandra Shipp revealed Halle Berry paid her dust when she reached out about the upcoming film.
Yahoo! Movies writes:
“I was like, ‘All right, hold on. People aren’t going to want to see you be Halle Berry. Otherwise they’re going to want Halle, you know? You got to find your own Storm. You got to find who you think Storm is in these moments and in this time in her life.’”
Shipp tried getting in touch with Berry, but that didn’t work out. “I reached out to her,” Shipp said. “You know, Halle’s got her show and her family and stuff. So I understand, she’s got her thing going on. Also, I think that my email might have scared her because it was a lot of word vomit. Like, ‘Oh, my God, I love you, you’re so amazing. What does your hair smell like? What perfume do you wear? If you had a favorite deodorant scent, what would it be?’”
Alexandra should have kept this information to herself. She’s too new to make these kinds of gaffs. You don’t snitch on an Oscar winning actress when a second ago you were in a flop Aaliyah biopic on Lifetime.
lmao petty
Halle is feeling some kind of way about how the studio did her. They barely gave her more than two lines per film. Of course she didn’t respond to the email.
Why should she respond to the email?? It’s not a biopic, Shipp isn’t learning her life story/ characteristics. If she don’t go read a freaking comic book and be happy for her opportunity…. her email could be taken as shade (sorry they didn’t want you and they wanted me but can you teach me everything you know).. also is it proven that Halle wasn’t offered the position?? or could she have refused it??
Eh, she’s going to learn really how the media does things.
*blank stare*
She seems very passive aggressive to me.
Welcome to Hollywood Alexandra.
