| Mo'nique Never Fails To Look Fly |
Flavor of Love Girlz: Charm School starring Mo'Nique
Mo'Nique is 'Phat' & Fabulous
March 28, 2006
MO'NIQUE is making fat funny as a true-to-life, plus-sized gal in her brand new flick 'Phat Girlz,' hitting theaters April
7, and the always-entertaining star reveals why laughter is the best medicine!
"Through comedy you get it better," she explains. "When I can make you laugh at you, you get it, 'cause when you finish laughing,
the blow isn't so hard."
And speaking of "getting it," Mo'Nique says she's proud that this movie stars real, plus-sized ladies. "Normally when they
do stories on fat girls they dress them up in a fat suit," she says. "So [the actress] really doesn't get it, she really doesn't
understand because when they say cut at the end of the night the suit comes off [but] our uniforms stay on permanently. It's
about time someone is making a stand, saying, 'I'm fat, I'm proud of it, we ain't going nowhere.'"
In 'Phat Girlz,' Mo'Nique plays Jazmine Biltmore, a smart-mouthed fashion designer who is obsessed with her weight and struggles
to find love but is thrown a major curve ball when she meets the man of her dreams, who comes from a culture where bigger
babes are better!
"Jazmine is outgoing, opinionated, aggressive, and very insecure when you first meet her," Mo'Nique says of her character.
"By the end of this movie she's outgoing, opinionated, aggressive, and very secure. And that's the one thing that I totally
agreed with about the story -- I was really proud of it because you go on a roller coaster ride."
And "The Parkers" alum is hoping the audience will take the same journey. "I hope that when each person walks out of that
theater they love themselves," she says. "I don't care what they look like, I don't care who they are. They could be blind
with one ear and I hope when they walk out of the theater they say, 'I love me, I'm okay with me.' That's all we're asking
-- that you walk away feeling good."
