Kingsley Ben-Adair Takes Us Inside Bob Marley Portrayal In “One Love”

[@Akira14ification]

I just saw this movie, he embodied this character. This man did a fantastic job. I could care less what the critics say, this movie was AMAZING!! The music was just awesome, I felt like I was in a concert that was being filmed live. I loved that they showed Bob Marley as a loving family man, friend, and husband. GREAT JOB Mr. Kingsley!! His voice in this movie, gave me life!!

[@eilenedecali2195]

Ben gave a phenomenal performance!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️

[@eilenedecali2195]

Amen!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@c.b.jersey7304]

I agree it was awesome. I just wish it would have been a little longer.

Yes Absolutely

[@mikehutchinson1465]

I'm a Jamaican, and I love this Kingsley nailed this role 👏 well

[@karlenesteele3436]

It was an amazing movie! Kingsley and Lashana were authentic in their portrayal of Bob and Rita.

[@deedee8043]

Kingsley is British Trinidadian and Lashana is British Jamaican

[@deedee8043]

Carribean accent came natural I guess

[@andreaclarke161]

I saw the movie, Kingsley did great. Bob is a legend an icon! Movie could be longer but I recommend the movie. He should definitely get an Oscar nomination

[@CJKows]

It was 2 hours… hoe long did you want it to go…😊

[@lavitaredmond3584]

I agree with you. He does an amazing job of acting

[@jewelsetheart6298]

I agree it was great but ended abruptly and should definitely been longer...maybe part 2..I hope

[@joewas2225]

He should win the Oscar

This movie is #1 in America!!!!❤️💛💚👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Excellent movie!

[@thehoneyeffect]

Go and see this film! Im Jamaican British & saw it on Valentine’s Day in the UK with a bunch of Jamaicans. Kingsley was fiyah🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You did the Marley family proud & Jamaica 🇯🇲 proud, it was spiritual, I shed a tear. Exquisite snap shot of a global icon/love letter from Bobs family to Bob. Rita Marley is queen 👸🏿❤ Bob🤴🏽 there is no other.

[@thinktank4768]

I agree, thehoneyeffect. I saw One Love when it opened in the United States on Valentine’s Day, and Kingsley Ben-Adir played Bob Marley remarkably! He made the movie FANTASTIC! 👩🏽‍🦱👍🏽🇺🇸

[@jcm_r]

Saw it too and my exact words were, it's spiritual.

[@deedee8043]

Kingsley Trinidadian British and Lashana is Jamaican British

[@klomax7089]

The movie was really really good. The Marley family made sure their father was accurately portrayed. It was great 🇯🇲

[@faithoverfear6965]

I was skeptical about the actor but after seeing the movie last night I can't wait to see it again!! The actor did an amazing job of showing us the emotional side to the legend. Best movie I've seen in years!

[@kashmeremajesty2163]

When I first seen the trailer of this film..... I was like " Wow, how come they didn't get one of his sons or someone close to him to portray him in this film" but I can tell this guy does a great job and I love his accent and the way he pronounce certain words

[@ocampbell1954]

That's not how acting works. That's now how Hollywood works. You actually have to know how to act and you need a star to carry the movie. Not some random person no one knows.

[@coachwhitneysmart]

One of the sons did audition but he wasn’t a good fit. Kingsley auditioned and then was personally selected by the family💪🏾✊🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@kashmeremajesty2163]

@@ocampbell1954 I am sure his children have done acting before and I believe that they could portray their father. I guess they was going for someone who matches Bob look, although Kingsley is taller than Bob. I thought that maybe they would have got Damian Marley to portray Bob

[@pizzeo]

@@kashmeremajesty2163 None of his children are actors. You need to be a professional actor to be able to carry the weight of this role. If they would've used a non-actor for this role it would for sure flop. I'm sure the studio doesn't want to take on that kind of risk.

Respect! Mr. Ben-Adair, for your work; after seeing this interview, I will be taking my Ja’merican children to witness a part of their cultural heritage portrayed positively on the big screen. One Love.

Kingsley Ben-Adir also played the villain, Gravik, in Marvel's "Secret Invasion". He did an amazing job! This man is a great actor and deserves every role he gets👏🏽 He puts in the work..and for that WE (the audience) enjoy a great cinematic, theatric or whatever you deem appropriate.... EXPERIENCE! Thank you Kingsley Ben-Adir...I appreciate your work ethic and subsequently...work product. Keep soaring young man✨

[@lashayanesmith1019]

Ben has a beautiful spirit. His portrayal was exquisite. .

[@TheLovely990]

I was wondering why his face looks so familiar. His portrays of Malcolm X, President Barack Obama to Bob Marley. Just wow! Very talented.❤❤

[@Rob-j5g]

And I have seen him most of the films Tamron mentioned and didn't realize that was him. He has a range. Much success to him.

[@Reppintimefitness]

Im about to go see that movie in a few hours

[@ITSLIKEARIVER2000]

Kingsley played in two of my favorite movies within a years time. Thank you. He did a good job as Bob. I still feel the best is yet to come and someone will come along who will do a great job. There should be a Rita Marley film...oerhaps based on her book. Wouldnt mins if Ken played him again. I enjoy the story of Bob so much.

[@susanniblack5871]

Kingsley Ben Adir was exceptional in this role. He embodied to spirit of Bob Marley. I've been thinking about the movie everyday since I saw it.

Tamron, we're dating in my mind! That aside, the care and security you place on interviewees that allow them to open themselves is phenomenal. I love watching your interviews over a ton of other "talk shows". Thank you for being you!

[@one_on_trip]

I saw the movie and I think it was briljant. I don't know what some other people expected. For example here in the Netherlands the reviews were not that good. Saying that the didn't show th whole story but I mean you can tell his whole life story in 2 hours. The producers chose a period of time to make the movie. I saw the rocket man, bohemian rapsody, Elvis I mean not all of them were that good nor accurate. But those got good reviews. I loved and enjoyed it and my god Lashana Lynch was amazing! The music in the film was as always spectaculair. 💯💯🇯🇲

Movie 🎥 like this no room for mistakes cause gong is king man our patios is secret our culture no playing
