Kerry Washington is for sure one of the hottest black women on the big screen right now. She may have that ‘innocent’ appeal about her, but recently, she’s been caught busting it open on the dance floor, and covering more than one magazine at a time. She’s really strutting her sex appeal on the latest cover of, Maxim Australia. Kerry talks about her role as Broomhilda in, “Django Unchained,” and this stunning actress looking GOOD in the spread isn’t bad either! Hit the jump and check it out.
Check out Kerry in the gallery ABOVE! Love the red-lipstick on her!
What attracted you to the role of Broomhilda?
I wanted to be a part of this incredible project that represents a painful part of US history but also creates a hero out of it. There were people who fought for freedom and rebelled but we don’t hear those stories. This is obviously not a documentary or a true story but it’s exciting to watch Jamie become this badarse cowboy hero.
Revenge tale that it is, there’s also a love story at the core of Django.
Quentin was always saying to Jamie, “Don’t forget, this is a love story.” I think one of the great things about Quentin is that he’s so complicated as a human being. He is so excited about these exploitation films and yet so believes in the real humanity of people. He is so into blood and gore but such a romantic. These seemingly contradictory ideas that he embodies so fluidly are why his films are so great – because he’s paying attention to both of those aspects.
Do you reckon watching this is a decent way to educate people about African-American history?
We don’t deal openly with the reality of what was done. Partly because it’s so uncomfortable. It’s so horrific. It would take a director like Tarantino, who’s not afraid of that level of violence, to even tell the story. It was that bad. We tend to think, “No, that’s just sci-fi fantasy sh-t.” We all should have seen this coming, though. When you kill off Hitler in a movie, your next project is going to be this.
