Crystle Stewart did not plan to play Tyler Perry’s beauty in black‘S Mallory Bellarie, but as a woman who always has a challenge, he accepted, and boy, is that (and his impeccable Bob) he gives!
Tyler Perryis more recent Netflix drama Steam first picked up when the first half of the inaugural season was published by the end of 2024, and the Bellarie family is back and messy than ever for the second installment of their first season.
Stewart stars in the series as Mallory Bellarie, a businesswoman and businesswoman who is the face of Bellarie’s company after marrying family fortune. As he manages his empire, he juggles in dysfunctions within his family and is ready to do anything to protect his image and riches.
Why is Mallory a character out of his standard?
“It’s completely different … just read the script,” Stewart said in the shade and Bravity’s act. “Honestly, I was not even sure I could do it. And I have never played such an intense role, and it is the opposite of how I am really. I know that it is to act, but sometimes you can take away, different things, situations of life and things like that. Mallory is a completely different beast of the other characters I have interpreted. For better or for evil It was a comedy. Leslie was very sweet and kind and bubble and would not hurt anyone, and all the other shows … Payne’s house It was also a comedy. I did it Acronym, But it was not as intense yet as Beauty in black. “”
She continued: “It was a completely different role, but I lived up to the challenge. I could get out of different experiences in life and try to see, you know, a few people, like” OK, how did they navigate a role like this as Vilà? “… therefore, removing some past experiences that were a bit angry at me, to get this and look at some black actresses that play a villa, or these strong and powerful roles in which some teeth need to sink.
The reason he believes that people should have empathy for the character
Mallory Bellarie is not holy; However, Stewart reminded us that there is a fine line between balancing darkness with light, leading it to a key fact about the person who portrays the series that can make people second before judging it by their actions.
“It’s still a bit of AB *** h; I even see, I’m like” Mallory is something else, “Stewart said.” I don’t know if people remember at the beginning; It’s like the first scene, the first episode: Mallory was interviewed by a woman and tells everyone how she came from foster care, you know, and Horace found her in a modeling search. “
Stewart added: “Sometimes the foster care is not the easiest system to pass. So I think, you know, the audience may only imagine why Mallory went through to do -so hard. Because I think people asked,” Why is it … “They love for some reason, but they want to know why it is.
Bob eats but is also intentional
One thing from Mallory Bellarie is that the hair kills, and going with the longest cut bob was a calculated movement Stewart and his hairdresser.
“The Bob. The long Bob. Something I wanted to do differently, I really talked about it because I like beauty and fashion and style, and I love makeups and things like that. So when I looked at the character, I don’t think he needs this long, fluent hair that he always used to carry in other shows and only myself, you know,” said Stewart. “The original idea was a brief bob. I liked it, we just cut it … but I felt that the character can evolve towards it … We decided a long Bob and it was a success.”
What is it like to work alongside legends like Debbie Morgan, Richard Lawson and Ricco Ross?
While Tyler Perry’s Beauty in black It has a new talent, it is just as full of power actors who have cooked more than their state as legends in the game, which Stewart admits is one of the most exciting parts of showing each day.
“Just going to the van with Debbi Morgan … Learn a lot from these people who have been during the game for so long. I would only choose, in this trip, it lasts one hour long because we have to shoot somewhere in the study campus and only by choosing his brain, how” how was this experience? And that? And how did you get to this role? “, Stewart recalled.” So, working with her, Richard Lawson is incredible. It is very motivating, only in life in general; This is his personality, so he always brings, you know, good vibrations on the dish works with them and, without a doubt, I have learned a lot from how their characters portray, which is killing it. “”
