I recently had the opportunity to meet and greet with the lovely Jada Pinkett Smith at a private press luncheon; where she promoted her newest film ‘Magic Mike XXL’ alongside Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, Donald Glover, and Michael Strahan. The star was very candid about her apprehension about taking on the role of Rome a worker in the sex industry and how her realization that there can be dignity in the adult entertainment industry.

Check out the details below.

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith hosted a private press luncheon at Atlanta’s exclusive St. Regis Hotel to promote her hot new film ‘Magic Mike XXL‘. The lovely star rocked a fly new hair cut, a pretty dress with hot stilettos as she discussed her role in ‘Magic Mike XXL’.

Jada shared that her role ‘Rome‘ was originally written with a man (Jamie Foxx) in mind but Channing Tatum asked her if she would be willing to try the character out for size. Jada is a huge activist in the whole sex trafficking arena and she was apprehensive about lending her face, name, and reputation to such a role. According to Jada so many people get trapped into sex trafficking in strip clubs. Channing Tatum was once a male dancer and he want to get the message out there there’s darkness in the industry but there is also light. Jada decided to take the role on and she says she learned a lot about the beauty and sheer delight of embracing sexuality. Jada shared,

‘Being on set for Magic Mike XXL never felt like work. It was truly amazing to see all those beautiful men dancing and having fun. It was truly enlightening for me. I thought adult entertainment such as stripping was all about sex but it’s so much more than sex. There’s power in sexuality and that’s a message that needs to be shared. There’s nothing ugly about sex when it’s put in the right context!”

Jada shares that she can’t wait for the world to see ‘Magic Mike XXL’ on July 1, 2015 and she hopes that this movie can open up dialogue about sexuality, dignity, and conversation that addresses the beauty of the industry and the dark side. According to Jada it’s not all bad and there can be good when it’s in the right context!
