Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, Ayra Starr, has opened up about her first-ever acting experience in the upcoming American fantasy film Children of Blood and Bone.
In a recent interview with CBS, the music star described the project as a life-changing opportunity that gave her a newfound appreciation for professional actors.
Speaking candidly, Ayra Starr revealed that transitioning from music to acting was both exciting and demanding. “It [Children of Blood and Bone] is my first movie ever.
You know, I’m used to being a singer and diva on set, but this one with the movie is like, it’s not about you. You’ve to be on set on time. So, it made me get used to military time and working hard. I respect actors so much more now. Their stamina is impeccable,” she said.
She added that acting has always been a dream of hers, though she had previously been too shy to pursue it. “I love music, but I’ve always loved acting.
I’ve always been shy when it comes to acting. But this is the first time in my life that I’ve been on camera and I’m not singing. It was amazing. I learned so much from everyone, not just the greats,” she shared.
Children of Blood and Bone, based on the bestselling novel by Nigerian-American author Tomi Adeyemi, is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and features a star-studded cast including Damson Idris, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idris Elba, Viola Davis, Cynthia Erivo, Tosin Cole, and Thuso Mbedu.
The film is scheduled for release by Paramount Pictures on January 15, 2027.
