Smith and Diaz ban
It infuriates me to read such about such outlandish attitudes as projected by Hollywood. Yet there seems to be no problem portraying white men in intimate encounters with black females. (BodyGuard- I will not pay to see that show).
Yet the "gatekeepers" are not as receptive to put black males in intimate scenes with white women of distinction.
Smith and Diaz kissing ban
(BANG) - Will Smith claims he was banned from kissing Cameron Diaz on screen because of American racism.
The actor said Hollywood panders to the nation's problem of seeing a black man and white woman getting intimate and stopped the co-stars kissing in new movie 'Hitch'.
To avoid controversy, Smith says he smooched Latin beauty Eva Mendes instead.
The 36-year-old 'Men in Black' star is quoted by Britain's Daily Mirror as saying: "How are you not going to consider Cameron Diaz? But Hollywood is nervous about a black man kissing a white woman on screen.
"In the US, it's still a racial issue. Ironically, Hollywood is happy to do it if the film is about racism. But otherwise they simply won't do it and ignore it."
Meanwhile, Will has confessed he and wife Jada Pinkett Smith have marriage counselling to keep their relationship on track.
The star says one of their first ever dates was an appointment with a psychoanalyst after being inspired by the self-help book 'Women Who Run With Wolves' by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
He said: "We wanted to start this off right, with someone to tell us what we were doing."
