I actually saw you on set, and it didn’t look like it was an enjoyable experience for you. How was it playing a pregnant woman for this movie?
It was really hard. They created a real prosthetic, where they molded the belly and made it very real for me. I had to wear it every day, and it was like a personal sauna. So, I feel like I was experiencing some of the problems that a real pregnant woman would feel, because I was dying of heat the entire time, and always needed a personal fan. I honestly think it helped me be more believable as a pregnant woman.
Overall, how was your experience on set?
We had so much fun. I mean, we’re all kind of like family now. We kept in touch after the first movie, and I’ve done other movies with Taye. Regina Hall and I are best friends; Nia Long and I are great friends, so we just had a blast to the point where I think the director would occasionally get mad, because we were having too much fun in between takes. But I think the genuine love for each other really translates to what you’ll see, and feel with the movie. I honestly think that the people who loved the first movie will not be disappointed.
