The highly anticipated film Precious starring newcomer Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, and Mariah Carey is making headlines not only because of its intriguing plot but also due to Carey's dowdy character in the movie.
Asked about her first reaction when she saw her new look, she replied, "I felt completely rancid!" As for her ugly persona in the movie, she dished, "I didn’t have to feel compelled to be always glamorous. With the music industry, it's very like 'Oh, she's got a hair out of place! Go fix it!' You know what I mean? And so this was such a liberating experience and yet humiliated me. But I needed that. We all need that. We all need to understand how to be humble, and it’s a difficult business to do that in."
When she was approached by film director Lee Daniels for the role, "He said 'We have a part and we really need someone, and I know you can do it. But you’re going to need to let me make you under and over and over again, and that's what we're gonna do.' So I'm a big fan of Sapphire and the book Push which inspired this movie, and a huge fan of Lee Daniels so I let him do what he wanted to do."
