Aaron Sorkin Defended His Casting Choices For “Being The Ricardos”
If you’re tempted to watch Being The Ricardos out of morbid curiosity to see a minimally animated off-brand wax museum Lucille Ball with Nicole Kidman’s accent, you might want to think twice. I know writer/director Aaron Sorkin has been nominated for a bunch of Oscars and shit, but judging by a new interview he gave for The Hollywood Reporter, I’m not sure he’s ever enjoyed watching a movie in his life. In it, Aaron defends his decision to cast Nicole and Javier Bardiem as Lucy and Desi Arnaz by dragging I Love Lucy and admits that he only pulled from “a small pool of world-class actresses” for the part and that “finding an actress who looked like Lucille Ball wasn’t important to me.” So I guess Debra Messing really never had a shot.
New Pictures Of Nicole Kidman As Lucille Ball Are Not Encouraging
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Nicole Kidman is not trending on Twitter because she broke her NDA with Scientology and has confirmed that Tom Cruise is actually only 3’7” tall. It’s because new pictures of her in Lucille Ball drag for Being The Ricardos have been circulating. And Nicole’s lucky Lucy was no relation to the Gucci Gang, because Nicole has endured enough harassment from shady organizations to last a lifetime.
