Whitney Houston‘s illustrious life in front of the camera and behind it is illuminated like never before in ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’ – the first and only official biopic centered on the late legend.

Directed by Kasi Lemmons and produced by ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’s Anthony McCarten, the film is also co-helmed by Houston’s Estate as well as her mentor, music mogul Clive Davis.

The result is an immaculate yet raw retelling of a story like no other. The intricacies of the layers that made up the icon’s compelling life – such as love, family,  and “that” voice – are explored in earnest, as are Houston’s well-documented struggles.

That Grape Juice‘s Maya Egbo sat down with Naomi Ackie, who plays the superstar.

The 31-year-old Brit-bred actress opened up about her transformation in Houston, the surprising learnings during the preparation process, and her favorite Nippy moments.
