Usher Aiming for Oscar with Sugar Ray Role


Usher Raymond has been cast as Sugar Ray Leonard in an upcoming bio-pic about Roberto Duran [click here if you missed that] and Ush says winning the Oscar for his portrayal is not out the question...

Usher says,
"I've seen Oscar winners come out of left field... I'm just saying Jennifer Hudson (won an Oscar)... I'm going into it offering my interpretation and my hard work and my dedication to be the best Sugar Ray ever. Or as good as the man can be. I've spoken to him, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to live up to him. But I'll try to be better than him."

*Spots Usher on a lonely corner on a busy day advertising himself winning an Oscar in his own home made newspaper made out of colored construction paper*

"When hell freezes over sweety...You and Beyonce could never! Not enough money in the world could buy you that luxury unless you are Meryl Streep..."

*sips afternoon coffee burning tongue and proceeds clicking down busy NYC street*

I've never thought of Usher as being THAT great of an actor, but maybe he can surprise us?

&@1:07PM Jennifer Hudson's family was killed AFTER she got the award. What in the wide world of sports are you talking about?

Only Tommy Davidson can portray Sugar Ray PERIOD

I'm through watching these singers try to cross over and end up messing up a good movie (Beyche). Just get a damn actor to do these movies.

Singers stick to singing.
Rappers stick to rapping.
Models stick to modeling.

I'm tired of seeing singers pretend to be models. It makes we want to buy the magazine less.

I'm tired of seeing rappers and singers try to act in movies. It makes me want to see the movie let because I know it will suck (BeyLiar, RhiGoat).

I'm just so sick of the Ryan Seacrests of the industry. There are so many hungry ppl out there and they don't get chances.

Since Usher started messing with Grace old ugly ass, he has been looking rather gross....I mean, even worst than usual because, imo, he was never fine.

I wish him well with the role - but something seems a little "off" in the face department... if you get what I mean, lol.

^^^Just adding, as big is Usher's talent is, his ego seems to be even bigger. Quite a turn off. I plan to get his album tomorrow. If it ain't good, Im'a say so lol.

I've seen "Light It Up", "The Faculty", and those Moesha episodes, Usher is NOT a great actor and I don't see him becoming Oscar worthy no time soon. JHUD won that Oscar for portraying HERSELF, a loudmouth/arrogant/fat, church singer. For Usher to win an Oscar it would have to be a role for a bisexual singing/dancing mama's boy.

LOL @ 2:07. Well Usher and Ray both have a lil sugar in common

@2:07 Lolll Sugar Ray has had his share of homo relatinships. Usher fits the part perfectly.

News flash to Beyonce, Usher and Justin Timberlake......you are not talented in the acting department. Stop tooting your own horns in your desperate attempts at winning an Oscar award.

Jennifer Hudson is not a great actress, but when she played Effie, she commanded your attention in almost every scene she was in. I still get goose bumps and teary eyed when I watch the show stopping, "And I am Telling You.... classic.

MJ put Lil' Ben in his place at the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Special back in 2001. Check it out.... Every since then, I've been able to tolerate him, plus he is a talented Ben Vereen shaped head guy. Go for it, Chicken George, Jr. Be the best u can be!

Heh.

The closest Usher will get to an Oscar is....in a commercial "My Bologna has a first name..O-S-C-A-R" ya'll know the rest...

Always wondered how Ginuwine's fine ass didn't blow up like Usher. That nigga had the looks,dancing and voice. SMH

why do people think biopics guarantee Oscars? They don't. And what's funnier is Usher can't act at all. Similarly to Beyonce, he only got/get parts because of who he is. Somewhere a real actor is pissed cuz he knows he deserved this part.

Now his publicists will go into overdrive with stunts of how he channeled SR blah blah blah. You and beyonce dont respect the craft so it'll never happen.

i forgot about tommy davidson. He allowed his stock to tumble. I remember when he was on some entertainment mag show years ago and he was drivnig some beat up white corolla or something. it had "has been" written all over the segment. I felt bad for him, but I think he would've been better cast than usher.

for the rec, usher aint puttin no butts in the seats. no one checkin for him at all. bad attitudes and then you want to sell products to those same people? come on now.
