Rihanna reveals her Oscar dreams

Umbrella hitmaker spoke about her new life as an actor

Singer Rihanna, who is acting in Valerian and Ocean's Eight, says while nobody works especially to win awards like Grammies or Oscars, it's always nice to get some validation.

She spoke about her new life as an actor in an interview with the The Sun on Sunday. "I'd love to get there one day. Who doesn't want to be told they are doing a great job? Any validation that your work is impacting is rewarding. I work hard and put my all into everything I do but the rest isn't up to me," asserted the Diamonds singer.



Rihanna went on to say, "I don't think anyone makes an album thinking about winning a Grammy, or makes a movie thinking about winning an Oscar. What you do is work as hard as you can and if awards follow, then that's great."

Rihanna plays shape shifting entertainer Bubble in Valerian. Though she didn't method act for the movie, she finds it interesting. "It's pretty difficult to method act when it comes to playing a shape-shifting entertainer but, seriously, I have nothing but respect for the actors that do."



She continued, "If you look at the well-known method actors of the generation, they put in incredible performance after incredible performance. It's no coincidence. I just do what's best for the role, what's best for me, I'd love to do something dark and different and challenge myself."

The 28-year-old superstar insisted she will never act like a diva on a movie set. "I offer myself like clay to directors. You don't do diva on film sets."
