Whitney Houston‘s hotly anticipated biopic ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’ delves into many layers of the late legend’s life – including her complicated relationship with ex-husband Bobby Brown.
The exploration of the highly-publicized union in the Kasi Lemmons-directed film doesn’t shy away from the controversy. However, it skillfully showcases other dimensions of the couple’s dynamic too.
Ashton Sanders plays R&B bad boy Brown.
Speaking EXCLUSIVELY with That Grape Juice, the actor says that his portrayal is one rooted in the “deep love” Bobby and Whitney shared. Opening up to TGJ’s Chet Kincaid, Sanders unpacks how he sees the pair as “soul mates.”
