Bob Marley: One Love | Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch and Reinaldo Marcus Green | BitarSweet 003

Bob Marley is one of the most iconic and transcendent humans in history.
Ahead of the official release of Bob Marley: One Love on 14th Feb, I sat down to interview Kingsley Ben-Adir (Bob Marley), Lashana Lynch (Rita Marley) and Reinaldo Marcus Green on how they wanted to portray the icons involved.

It was more than "spontaneous dancing", i believe he was in a trancendental state - spirit filled.

Ziggy said he looked at all of the auditions. He was expecting/hoping to find a Jamaican, but it was Kinglsey's audition that made him say, "Hmm."

[@eskayh7734]

Wonderful interviews. Your rapport with each individual was great to watch. Big props for giving Lashana her flowers.

[@bo_arrow]

Lashana played Rita to the Letter! Fight me on it 😂

[@UMIVERSOUL.STUDIOS]

As a fellow Shepherd's Bush/West Londoner I really appreciated the love and rapport in the segments with Lashana - born to be the Star that she is. A great interview all round. Props to you🙏

[@user-tc2or2so1y]

This man's name is Kingsley Ben- Adir. He did a phenomenal job as Bob. Lashana did an excellent job as Rita. (Ben Kingsley is the baldhead little British man who played Gandhi)

Did the selection had nothing to do with Paramount pictures 🤔

[@royreid8422]

There was a reason why Jamaicans were not chosen, maybe none could handle Bob Marley's roll if so who ? Not son it would not be so interesting

[@playafly131]

The reason is very simple, Jamaica is a tiny island with barely 2 million people. Jamaicans are like the Jewish people in that for a tiny people they clearly culturally punch above their weight and seem like there are way more And even those are foreign born lack the genuine accent. Because it’s such a unique accent. Other than the sheer lack of a large pool to draw from there is nothing else to it my good friend!

Stupid comment

[@AnimalLover2400]

Lashana is Jamaican.

[@royreid8422]

@@AnimalLover2400 Yes , I know she is of Jamaican heritage BritishJamaican

First and Formost Bob was a Rastafari Jamaican Afrikan and that’s why the actors and producers should have visited these Rastafari communities in order to truly understand bobs culture and Rastafari dialect of Hyaric.

[@LightSessionTV98]

They did!!

[@bo_arrow]

They said they did in the other interview

[@queennubia8406]

A Jamaican should have played Rita, Bob, and Peter

[@garbi27]

It doesn’t matter. They are all black people

[@playafly131]

As I replied to another comment above. There is simply not a large enough pool of Jamaicans. Jamaicans are similar to Jewish community in that you would think there are 100m+ due to the constant cultural impact. But in reality it’s a very small pool (2 million) and that is the only reason why you have to go with foreigners in this case. A CITY in America with 2 million people would be considered a rural area small town) this is an entire country Even 1st gen Jamaicans born abroad struggle to duplicate the genuine accent

​@@playafly131Are they classically trained and have that acting experience?

[@faith.ness929]

She is Jamaican. Thought she grew up in London, she grew up in a Jamaican household with Jamaican parents. Suh she get a pass 😀

[@queennubia8406]
