In one scene in the series, Davis constantly purses his lips and makes exaggerated facial expressions while talking to the actor who played former President Barack Obama.

It is not clear why the way Oscar winner Michelle acted. Or if she is instructed to act in a ridiculous version of the real Michelle
TMZ Report That Davis is taking his role very seriously. But Twitter thinks so.
Black Twitter was not happy with Viola’s acting skills. See comments below.
You were saying that no one in the whole crew, during the filming, stopped and thought “No man, it looks so wrong?” And what did he suggest not to do?

Auntie Legend, if she thinks Mrs. Obama is acting this way in real life, she is acting this way. ????

Wait, why are they talking like this viola ?? I’m upset for Michelle.

Michelle has made an underbite that Viola is playing as a pucker and it has become too much. I don’t think anyone thinks of Michelle’s lips when they think of her. Plus power is all wrong. MO is always doing VD not panic comes across smooth. This is a surprisingly bad turn from an icon.

I may have to ignore this project. Out of respect for Michelle and Viola.

Yes. Secondhand embarrassment is real here ???
I still can’t believe he did it. He went way overboard, and no one corrected him to tell him how ridiculous he looked? Not other actors ?? Director? No one ???
