Confusion currently encases Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ album campaign, but that hasn’t stopped the Bajan beauty from continuing to build her empire.

In the absence of any charting music, the 27-year-old has opted to flex her acting muscles – this time in Luc Besson‘s newest movie ‘Valérian and the City of a Thousand Planets.’

The star’s involvement with the flick (reportedly a prominent one) took her to France this week, where she has been shooting the Sci-Fi flick.

Little is known about the specifics of Rih’s role, but the film itself follows time-traveling agent Valerian, who is sent to investigate a galactic empire, along with his partner Laureline. Actor Clive Owen and Cara Delevingne are also set to star.

With shooting seemingly wrapped for the model, Besson has been gushing about her performance.

Today, as news of a ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ reboot heats excites the show’s fans we celebrate one of the show’s more powerful scenes.

In it, Will (aptly portrayed by Will Smith) attempts to build a relationship with the father he was abandoned by as a child only to find himself faced with hurt and disappointment when the man (portrayed by Ben Vereen) rejects him.

Showcasing layers African-American characters are often written without,  Will’s cracked delivery of “how come he doesn’t want me” would go on to stand as one of the television’s most memorable (and heartbreaking) lines.

Watch above and, as ever, let us know…
