Rihanna Says “Absolutely Not” To Whitney Houston Role In ‘The Bodyguard’ Remake

A few weeks ago, rumors hit the internet that Rihanna was being considered to take the lead role in the remake of Whitney Houston 1992 classic, The Bodyguard. However Rihanna recently revealed to OK! Magazine that she’s simply not interested in filling Whitney Houston shoes because the role is not challenging enough for her!!!

“Absolutely not. I want to separate the two. I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time because you can never look at them as anybody else. I want to play a character, my whole life is playing Rihanna, being a singer won’t be a stretch for me. I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else’s shoes, that’s the excitement.”
