Rihanna has been rumored to have been considered for Whitney Houston’s role in the remake of the hit movie ‘The Bodyguard.’ The singer has since denied those rumors.

She recently explained to Ok! Magazine why she is not interested in the role:

“Absolutely not. I want to separate the two. I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time because you can never look at them as anybody else. I want to play a character, my whole life is playing Rihanna, being a singer won’t be a stretch for me. I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else’s shoes, that’s the excitement.”
