Rihanna not interested in ‘Bodyguard’ remake

London, March 9 (IANS) Singer Rihanna has no interest in filling Whitney Houston’s shoes in the upcoming remake of “The Bodyguard” because she doesn’t want to play a singer on the big screen.
The “Umbrella” hitmaker is set to showcase her acting talents in “Battleship”, but doesn’t want to feature in the remake because playing a musician wouldn’t be a “challenge”, reports contactmusic.com.
“Absolutely not. I want to separate the two. I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time because you can never look at them as anybody else,” she said.
“I want to play a character. My whole life is playing Rihanna so being a singer in a film won’t be a stretch for me. I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else’s shoes, that’s the excitement,” she added.
