NAOMI ACKIE: Playing Whitney Houston Changed Everything - I’m a Different Person Now

NAOMI ACKIE: Playing Whitney Houston Changed Everything - I’m a Different Person Now

Naomi Ackie is an award-winning actor known for her roles in The End of The F***ing World, Blink Twice and playing Whitney Houston in the 2023 biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody.


I love speaking to hugely talented actors like Naomi. I’m always so curious to know what they’re like away from the characters they play.


Naomi is a perfectionist who has been incredibly hard on herself throughout her career. In our conversation, she shares how her biggest role nearly broke her, what she’s learnt from it and why she won’t let it happen again.


In this episode, Naomi shares:

- The advice her Mum gave her when she first said she wanted to be an actor

- The anxiety & panic attacks that came with playing Whitney Houston

- How losing her Mum at 22 years old changed her

- What it’s like working alongside Zoe Kravitz, Florence Pugh & Robert Pattison

- What happened when Channing Tatum gave her sister a lap dance


This conversation is a reminder that we should all stop judging ourselves so harshly and start celebrating our successes.


Naomi Ackie is Great Company.
