Portraying An Icon | Kingsley Ben-Adir Talks 'Bob Marley: One Love'

Kingsley Ben-Adir tackles another icon of history in Bob Marley: One Love. The actor joined ReelBlend to discuss his process, working with the film’s choreographer Polly Bennett to find Bob Marley through his movement, learning to play guitar, how his favorite Marley songs have changed over time, and more. A brilliant performer and a fantastic interview. We really enjoyed this one, and hope to have him back soon. Until then, stay tuned for our interview with the film’s director coming next week as well as our reviews of the film to coincide with its official release.

Im glad he got to play Bob i see 🇯🇲 jamaicas vybz have a whole on him. Love it.

[@thehoneyeffect]

Kingsley is at a deeper level to the interviewers regarding questions about capturing Bob Marleys essence in the One Love biopic. I advise everyone to see this film, it was exquisitely and beautifully done, his family and the team they assembled made sure of that. Us Jamaicans across the planet are proud Jamaica 🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥

Great episode.. loved the deep dive into the trends.. why things might be going int he direction they are, etc. Keep up the great work!

[@harrisonhigdon3337]

I’ve been obsessed with reel blend the past 2 months! Just wanted to say I love the channel and really appreciate what you all are doing! Dunkirk! *yes I’ve went back and watched so many old podcasts I discovered the whole dunkirk bit, and saw it end with the Tenet review*

[@ReelBlend]

Love this! Welcome to the Blender family!

[@davidjohney2338]

Kevin bringing it back to his WJFK intern days! Sounding like a sports analyst here more so then ever.

[@SebsGarrido]

Leaving a bit of info blenders! I was fortunate enough to cover the press activities in Mexico City of Dune Part Two and attend the fan event. And I’ll just say we were thousands over there and in the audience, the hype is real and maybe just maybe, Dune 2 will be a million dollar box office hit

[@illuvattar]

Im sure Coppola will have sold some extra wine to show the Megalopolis trailer during the Superbowl. Seriously, I'm hoping for something from Wolfs, War of the Rohirrim or Gladiator 2. Especially Wolfs just looks like a lot of fun like Oceans 11.

[@josemunoz3834]

I would love a Beetlejuice 2 trailer, but it doesn't sound like we are getting one

[@victorcarpentier4550]

the opening joke is my favorite part

[@corrynthiaiam9205]

Do yall realize never before has Rastafari or a reggae legend be portrayed on the big screen?🇯🇲 #RASTA

[@myp1600]

Brad pitt to star in Tarantinos "the movie criitc"?

[@mustafaj.h.m9012]

Guys! It’s been months and you didn’t review a lot of products of the week like the book of Clarence, l.s.s, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Anatomy of a Fall… etc. looking forward to more comprehensive eps…

[@prberg2]

yeah.. some short reviews on new stuff is always great. Although your discussion was fun too (maybe a bit too much football talk though)

[@harrisonhigdon3337]

Sean you HAVE to keep doing the jokes to start the episode
