chosensparkles Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Quote Tesfaye is also a terrible actor. He lacks the comfortability, the gravitas, charisma, and charm to increase the viability of Jocelyn being attracted to him. In most scenes, Tesfaye either hides under the cover of dim lighting, obtrusive coverage, or re-recorded dialogue dubbed into several scenes The Playlist Quote Notably, of all the characters Tesfaye helped create for the show, his is one of the few who isn’t required to spend their time on screen parading around in their underwear – or less. But he has given himself some eyebrow-raising dialogue, including (I’ve replaced the body parts with vegetables, to render the thing publishable): “I want to grab you by the pumpkin while you suffocate on my parsnip”. For one thing, it’s just fatuously graphic – surely the very worst line of dialogue we’ll hear all year. For another, the basic bodily logistics are baffling: pulling off this manoeuvre would require the physique of Mr Tickle. Sex talk that manages to be a turn-off in two different ways is some screenwriting feat. The Telegraph Quote Tesfaye, a bit stiff . There’s a strenuousness to the sex scenes between Depp and Tesfaye that kills any sense of eroticism. The Hollywood Reporter Quote Anonymous sources told Rolling Stone that this was at least partly due to musician turned actor-producer The Weeknd – AKA Abel Tesfaye – objecting to the show’s attention on the female perspective, and wanting more focus on his character Tedros. for Tesfaye is one of the least charismatic characters on TV. It soon transpires he is some kind of cult leader, and when he and his entourage arrive at Jocelyn’s home in episode two, there is a feeling that we are in the presence of a Charles Manson wannabe. for Depp is fine as the damaged Jocelyn, and – Tesfaye aside – she is supported by an excellent cast Evening Standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Beyoncé would kill a role like this with the right commitment. Rihanna which movies did?. I wouldn't say She has been an actress. Taylor too, literally has made Just a couple of 3 minutes cameos. Nothing you really prepare like you're doing a lifetime big role. Even great actors have bad performances or forgettable cameos, so you can know how they can be if they are really committed. Barbra Is both a singer and an actor. I mean she's "Born" as Broadway musical actress, so It's another category, She Is not a pop star doing movies like the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
