Zoe Saldana says black actresses who complain about lack of opportunities in Hollywood should get off their butts and stop complaining because America has a black president.
“We have a Black president right now,” the actress said in her Ebony cover story. “So why the f- would I sit down and talk about how hard it is for Black women in Hollywood when there’s a Black president in my country?”
And it’s that attitude she says that helps her land her movie roles. “When I go after a part, [people] better watch their backs,” she says. “Not because I’m going to crush everybody, but because I’m going to give the best that I can because I strive for excellence. When you don’t get a part, it is for a reason, and these pieces will fall into place soon.”
