Andra Day & Leslie Odom Jr. | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

[@philippeh3904]

Interesting look at two actors playing two important figures in the history of music, that I don’t think we appreciate enough in our culture.

[@rednaxelaaj13]

This is a great paring and wonderful conversation! There are a lot of parallels between Billie Holiday and Sam Cooke that didn't occur to me and the rapport between Andra and Leslie was lovely.

[@laugh_til_ithurts]

Leslie Odom Jr. killed as Sam Cooke! I hope they do a whole separate movie on him ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@theblackdaria_]

She is SO beautiful. I can feel her soul and I just... I love her and I’m so so so proud and happy for her and that she’s having this moment rn

[@georgiac20]

A beautiful and vulnerable conversation between the two. Andra Day is absolutely stunning

[@EcstaciDavis]

I loved how their conversation was so casual. I feel honored to be able to see and listen to the both of them exchange their most personal experiences as artists. Thank you for featuring them.

[@CinemaGuyTy]

I love listening to artists discuss their work. There’s so much investment in the the creativity of it all.

[@amiralcherani2662]

Those actors are some of the best! They talk about their work, thoughts, and ideas so passionately and that's what a conversation between two actors should be like. They both are hardworking, unlike some actors who depend on the physical structure and appearance instead of the work. Praise them both!

[@missshai]

This interview felt good to my soul. Loved these films. Beautiful actors

[@cj10109]

And now they both have golden globes!! Talent 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💜

[@noragaber7659]

Leslie is so open and honest and I love that♥️♥️♥️he is amazing

[@angeliawburton4575]

I applaud the mutual support they had for one another. Their stories for preparation of such iconic characters is why as an audience you’re filled with awe and wonder while watching. It’s as if you’re in real time with the actual event with the actual person. How he was checked on what it took to possess a calm and poise during a performance while raging of such degradation on the inside. That it wasn’t cool being portrayed but rather self-control. Wow! She took a role that she personally embodies for the sake of telling it and delivering it authentically. She did so amid her fears and her own convictions as a Christian. God bless them both for a job well done👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@lawrencelovingood470]

[@bpdynasty9265]

Wow this was a truly powerful conversation…just hearing from both of them about their prep, thier fears, their experience of filming and bringing these iconic characters to life via not just acting but singing is incredible. Both were simply amazing in their roles 🙌🏾 A treat for all of us to see!

[@chrisbradley3548]

She was at war with United States. She was a veteran. She was a "Strange Fruit" and Sam Cooke was trying to get off the chain gang.

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Awesome

[@alobo9937]

❤️

[@user-ik1bk3go1e]

She was the Godmother of the Civil Rights Movement. She was courageous, refusing to keep silent when others cowered. She was hunted and her career destroyed at the hands of the FBI (United States.) The United States tried without success to silence her for singing the song Strange Fruit. The powerful song that became one of her signature songs. A song that spoke courageously about the lynchings of Black men, women and children. An undercover FBI Black agent was assigned to infiltrated her circle and was part of the conspiracy that destroyed this woman and her career. She will never be remembered as the legacy drug addict the FBI worked to create. The real truth is now being told. Check out the film The United States Vs Billie Holiday starring actress Andra Day and directed by Lee Daniels.

First comment 😁

[@BeneditoMaiaFilho1]

No, no and no!

[@BeneditoMaiaFilho1]

My God! This actress’s laugh is too forced. I'm a super fan of BILLIE HOLIDAY, but I’m already one step behind her. Has success gone to your head? A little bit less, ANDRA!!!!

[@manguy2000]

Two more people whining about how everything is racist. Are we bored of this yet? Yep.

[@garyAjames]

[@shonniedaniels2575]

RACISM IS THE CLOTHE OF UNITED STATES. UNTIL ITS ERADICATED, THEN WE CAN STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. IGNORING IT WON'T END RACISM OR RACIST COMMENTS LIKE YOURS.
