(CelebNMusic247-News) Michelle Rodriguez Talks Fast & Furious 6
Michelle Rodriguez‘s butt-kicking, tough-talking, car-racing chick, Letty Ortiz is resurrected in Fast & Furious 6!
The illustrious, pedal-pushing franchise opens tonight and nation wide tomorrow.
And we have your first hand look at what went down at the Tuesday night premiere that took place after Vin and Michelle left The Voice.
Michelle talked to several outlets giving the 411 on Letty and Dom, saying:
“I worked so hard to make her respectable and cool in the first one, and Vin backed me up so much on that.”
“He fought so hard to maintain the integrity of ‘street’ in the franchise.”
She explained:
“[So] it’s really refreshing when the audience grabs that and says ‘Hey, that is cool. Bring it back,’”
“I’m like ‘Are you kidding me? That’s so cool!’”
Rodriguez goes on to explain that it was not just the lose of Letty that left fans yearning for more; it was her unfinished love story with Dom Torretto, Vin Diesel‘s surprisingly soft-hearted, street-racing fugitive.
She reveals:
“It’s a contemporary, urban love story.”
”If I try to think back at all the films from our generation, generation Y, all the late ’80s, ’90s movies, and I try to find that street love… there isn’t. Not with my skin color, not with Vin’s tone. You really don’t see a lot of that. Maybe [Poetic Justice] with Tupac [Shakur] and Janet Jackson came the closest, but that’s it.”
She continued.
“It’s also that vibe, you know…Like, he’s street, and I’m street in many ways. Of course, not anymore, but we have that background where a lot of girls in the audience can say ‘You know what? That’s me,’ or a lot of boys in the audience can say, ‘That’s me,’ when they look at Vin. I think it’s really just that. We have these attainable faces, if you will. We don’t have these celebrity faces.”
