'I Felt Seen': Leigh-Anne Pinnock Cries Talking Acting Debut & Teases Little Mix Musical

We caught up with the Leigh-Anne Pinnock and her friend, writer and Director Aml Ameen talk about all things #BoxingDay.
Find out why Leigh-Anne felt finally seen when she got cast by Aml for the role and what makes it so emotional for her.
She talks about future movie roles and shared that she has always wanted a #LittleMix Musical and this just might be on the horizon!

[@AlwaysLM2011]

Leigh still saying she actually felt seen a decade after being in little mix is quite sad. No one should feel down because a fandom that's suppose to support her group don't like her as much as the others or at all because she's black. Those hater will never stop her shine and I'm happy she is getting all this spotlight and her talent is seen by actors and other people 💜

[@ThatBranB]

Think all the mixers know Leigh-Anne's classic hand/arm action she does when she's about to cry. It's the "I'm gonna cry" move 🥺. Trust me Leigh-Anne you've ALWAYS been seen, even if a bit less followers than the other ladies on things like IG. Beauty, style, elegance, politeness, growth as a vocalist, slayer of a performer. We have been proud of your presence in the world of Pop music. Continue to shine bright!

[@AlwaysLM2011]

It's not just about the followers it's the no cheering in the audience majority of the decade when it's her turn to sing, no one screaming her name most times at meet and greets etc. That can f#ck you up mentally so she is t saying it for no reason. I'm happy things have gotten better for her because no one should feel less than because of their race.

[@ThatBranB]

@@AlwaysLM2011 Agree and yes even had items thrown at her. She deserves all her flowers & knew the picture for her career, so it didn't break her. We are proud.

[@AlwaysLM2011]

@@ThatBranB also the fact that she low key shaded her haters who always call her the weakest by saying no one has actually fully hear me sing sing and I can't wait until she shuts them up. She is too sweet for all the hate and lack of respect she gets

[@randomfangirl4037]

wait i'm a new mixer can someone explain the hand/arm thing pls?? thx :)

[@Ameliamaemay1990]

@@randomfangirl4037 she kinda waves her hand in front of her face before she starts to cry. It's like she's trying to dry her tears before they arrive. It's very endearing ❤️ I might be wrong but that's what I've noticed

[@michellehorton8698]

Can't wait to go and see boxing day, Leigh deserves this I hope she does more movies.

[@westonding8953]

So proud of Leigh-Anne and her acting debut! She definitely touches our hearts. Can’t wait for Boxing Day to be available for us!

Every mixer knows what I'm talking about when I say ''SHE TOOK HIM FROM ME!'' Leigh-Anne does not get enough credit for how amazing she is!

That awkward moment when you're a rare American Little Mix fan and had no idea that Boxing Day was an actual UK holiday. Looooooooool, all this time I thought someone was a boxer and they maybe "boxing day" was the day of the big boxing match.

[@missb9230]

The day after Christmas , big shopping day for us 😂😂 #boxing day !

[@seonaidkabiah418]

It’s an official public holiday in South Africa too, formally “Day of Goodwill” but we call in Boxing Day lol

LEIGH IS SO BEAUTIFUL

[@EmpressToni]

I hear u sing Leigh Anne. I hear u.

[@KingWelshy]

A Little Mix musical would be ICONIC and so popular. With the right team they would have been marketed to be even bigger than Spice girls as Little Mix have top level vocals. Shame label missed that opportunity due to having LM and 5H on same label!

[@skarloeyfan01adventures]

I still like Little Mix they are good but I am sad that they wont be around anymore after there tour and loved being a mixer

[@marisolvaldes1659]

People are giving me a hard time because I too won't buy my baby any Christmas presents, she's gonna be two months old. what's the point? Really!

[@DeeL3]

It's no biggie girl. It's your baby, not "everyone" else's so do what you want.
