EXCLUSIVE: Lenny Kravitz Talks Starring in Shotgun Wedding

Lenny Kravitz stars in Prime Video’s new rom com, Shotgun Wedding. Playing the ex-boyfriend, we got the chance to hear from Kravitz regarding the new movie.

In the chat, Kravitz talks what he loves about acting compared to making music and the best part of making this movie. Check out what he had to say below.

What do you love about acting that you don’t get as a musician?
“What I love about it is I get to collaborate, work with people, serve a character, the script, the director. When I make my music, I’m primarily in the studio by myself playing the instruments, writing, producing. It’s my thing. It’s my expression. And it’s a great relief to then go and work with people and have it not be about me and how I want it what I want. But to be there to serve, as I said, the character, the director, the script. And I love that. And to be with beautiful people.”

What would you say was the best part of making this movie?
“I think the most wonderful thing about this experience was that we all really enjoyed each other. We enjoyed being with each other. We lived together. We enjoyed the process together. And it was a lot of fun at a time, in a very surreal time in this world, in the beginning of COVID. We got to go to the Dominican Republic and have fun together and be creative. And it was a very, very special time. And I think that we all had a lot of gratitude.”

Shotgun Wedding will premiere on the streaming platform on January 27.
