Jennifer Hudson has never tasted alcohol. The Oscar-winning actress and singer admits she was initially terrified of playing a heroin addict in her new movie \u2018The Inevitable Defeat Of Mister And Pete\u2019 because she has never had a drink or experimented with drugs.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old star told Manhattan magazine: \u201cIt terrified me to play that part because I had no reference point. I\u2019m 31 and I\u2019ve never, ever, ever had a drink or done a drug in my entire life. I stick with Diet Coke and Crystal Light and water.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u2018Dreamgirls\u2019 star was also nervous about taking on the lead role in her other new movie \u2018Winnie Mandela\u2019 and admits it took a toll on her.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cIt was intimidating to play Winnie after seeing how much she means to the people there. To some she\u2019s an angel and to some she\u2019s Satan, but either way, woo!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe strength that woman possesses is amazing. We put so much into the story, and it took a lot out of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite returning to the big screen, Jennifer is excited for fans to hear her upcoming new album, which will be released next year.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThis record is not about me playing a part or me as a spokesperson. What we\u2019re doing feels so right that I never want to go home. My sister and my manager will be sleeping on the couch while we work until 4 or 5am.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
