in the upcoming story on the life of Roberto Duran.. USHER?? seriously? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1781827/
Neither Guy LOOKS like Ray Leonard, but in All Fairness, Usher More Closely RESEMBLES him than Gaye Diggs Does...It'll Be Funny Seeing Usher Rocking an Afro Wig... REED:Lok:
They better include the "COACH" scenes. And Usher better pull off some good acting in them. What are you doing coach? Are you sure ? I'm just a confused young 31 year old boy. Don't do that coach! I swear I'm gonna run ..as soon as you finish coach. Don't do it RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE coach...don't coach don't don't don't ..Why did you stop in the middle ? Who do you think you are Roberto Duran?? You finish this if you know what's good for you motherfucker....no coach...i'm so vulnerable....i'm a victim of sex abuse....poor me....how could you ...
If they want an artist playing the role...why not rapper Common? not dark enough...okay...what about Mos Def who can actually act a bit....?
You and your rappers...they should have a white guy play Sugar Ray...they have black Jesus...black Nick Fury....let's see a white Ray Leonard !
Really? Neither looks like Leonard but Taye would be by FAR a closer fit...being a pretty boy himself and closer to the same complexion.
Give Usher thick cosmetic eye brows in make up & he'll look quite like Ray. Apart from being 15 years too old.
They look nothing alike. Usher has small, weird eyes, he reminds me of a chimpanzee. Ray has much bigger eyes, and more prominent, higher cheekbones, Usher's face is kind of bottom heavy.
Their nose, mouth, skin tone and chin are kinda similar. Thick eye brows and a shaved back hair line and it'll be a passable illusion. Usher also has a similarly charismatic boyishness about him, for want of a less gay way of putting it....or at least he did 10 years ago. Now, dunno
If I still had mod powers the spelling mistake in this thread title would have been fixed 3 hours ago. Something to think about! ::
A movie on Duran? If you want to see endless grappling and hugging watch the UFC . There is literally an entire genre of Duran. It is called gaye pornography.
1st of All, U Picked THE WORST Possible Pic of Usher Imaginable, for this Comparison...But even in that Pic, he's a CLOSER Fit to Ray Leonard than Gaye Diggs is... Usher's Complexion is VERY MUCH Similar to Leonard's, Whereas Diggs' Couldn't Be More DIFFERENT...What Next, a Dark Skinned Brother Cast in the Remake of "Ali"???.... How Bout Terrance Howard as Jack Johnson???... REED:Lok:
The guy playing Duran is tiny so the Leonard actor still have to look like he's in the same weight class, though taller. I'm thinking Donald Glover would have been perfect if you put a little muscle on him.
