COMMON: MY LATEST MOVIE IS “JUST WRIGHT” FOR MY DAUGHTER

Rapper/actor Common poses with his co-star Queen Latifah at the premiere of movie “Just Wright” on May 4, 2010. Common, who plays the leading role in the romantic comedy, says that his new film is something his 12-year-old daughter Omoye Assata Lynn can watch.

He says, “I’m very enthused about this film because it’s something my daughter can see and love, and my mother and my grandmother. And my guy friends, because the basketball is in there. They can enjoy it, even with the love story.”

And Common is especially glad that this time around, he won’t be playing the “bad guy” as he did in flicks like “Smokin’ Aces” and “Wanted.”

“As my daughter says, ‘Daddy, when are you gonna stop playing the BAD guy?’

“I wanted to break free of the sorts of roles that Hollywood sees me in; you know, the tough guy. I like doing dark roles, but I like playing romantic, and I like playing conflicted characters. This guy gives me all that, and he’s an NBA player. He’s my dream role.”

Just Wright is in theaters on Friday.

    COMMON…YOU’RE SOOO FINE. I WILL DEFINITELY BE GETTING TICKETS TO YOUR MOVIE. NOT JUST BECAUSE I THINK YOU’RE SEXY, BUT I THINK YOU’RE EVERY TALENTED TOO. PLUS I’VE SEEN THE PREVIEWS AND IT LOOKS FABULOUS. QUEEN LATIFAN AND PAULA BEING IN THE MOVIE HELPS TOO.

    i’ll definitely be seeing this movie. was already a fan of Queen, but i’ve not had the opportunity to see any of Common’s movies (that i can remember). and the previews looked really nice. just my type of movie. :-)

    i didn’t realize he had a daughter either. or one that was 12 anyways. have they ever mentioned who her mother is? with her name and pretty brown skin, i get the feeling she’s of African decent (?)

    I wouldn’t have guessed that was his daughter. She resemblems another young female I know, non-celebrity.

    I’ll be seeing that movie as well, but I’ll wait till next weekend.

    He was in Wanted? Where?

    MY girlfriends and I are looking forward to seeing Common in the movie Just Wright when we saw the preview we all said “GOD BLESS HIS PARENTS FOR MAKING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CREATION”. LOL

    I finally get the chance to see his adorable 12 year old little girl Omoye.

    I think his daughter resembles Common’s dad who voice/images have been featured in his albums both vocally and in early images of his parents. She’s tall and her face looks similar.
