Meghan Markle Archetype podcasts & interviews

[susan12345678]

As the last thread filled up & there's plenty of discussion of Meghan's interview in The Cut, seems worthwhile starting a new thread!

A read yesterday that a series of media interviews are planned to promote the podcasts. Should be very interesting if The Cut interview is anything to go by!

Once again, his voice is in the film. He is a huge part of the voicework in the movie, albiet through song rather than spoken word. So yes, I'll stand by my words: I think it's understandable that someone who wasn't involved in the production might make the assumption that he is part of the cast.

And I'm not making an assumption that it was Lebo M. I have no idea. Maybe Meghan is lying. But to ignore the fact that a prominent South African muscian whose voice is heard in the movie was at the premiere means the article around this is incomplete and needs some balance added.

And I'm not making an assumption that it was Lebo M

It seems to me that that is precisely what you are doing.

But this could be why he is demanding his own security detail.

LOL

He’s listed as a composer and lyricist for the Broadway version of the Lion King as well as the Film. The writers are different people altogether. He was also mentioned by the Dr in the article as a composer. Not a cast member.

I'll explain again: I am putting the easily verifiable fact out there that a major contributor to the voicework of the film was at the premiere, that he is South African, and therefore the willingness to call Meghan a liar is premature and needs more clarification.

Or they certainly will now all things considered.

No one is saying it was Lebo M. But we are posting out that outside the top 20 cast members listed, there were several other South Africans around. So to say there were no other South Africans is nonsense.

All of this just shows that they should sack Sunshine Sachs and get some decent pr training.

If you're just chatting to a friend it's fine to mix up the location, the event, the person who spoke, their role and their nationality. But it's different when you broadcast it.

They've made a deal with the devil. Netflix and Spotify probably specify how many times they have to mention the RF - and that means always harking back to royal adjacent events.

It would be canny of them to exclusively announce some positive RF stories and a forgiveness/redemption arc with both their families. It's the logical next step from a content creation pov.

Perhaps it was at the real premiere 3 days beforehand ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And Lebo is said to be the spirit of the Lion King because it’s his words and voice when we hear “Nants ingonyama, bagithi Baba!”

John Kani said there were no ther SA cast members.

I'm sure Omid will clarify soon enough.

I’m interested. Where is it written regarding the other South African cast members.

But when I asked, you said yourself that you couldn't name a single South African cast member other than John Kani.

So how could you possibly know that "there were several other South Africans around"?

Those arguing whether it was supposedly this guy or not are missing the point.

Even if it was said it is the most self serving, cringeworthy story. Why would anyone with a smallest modicum of self awareness repeat it?

It strike me as a fairly grandiose Trumpian thing to say.

So name them, If they are in the full cast list they won't be hard to find.

So as I said... his voice work is in the film. Meghan could simply have misremembered him as a cast member rather than a crew member due to this.

I’d find it very difficult to believe that one South African wouldn’t know if there was more than one other South African or not in the cast.

I mean Leno was there and spoke with them, but he's not down as a cast member

I don’t believe someone who worked in the entertainment industry would.

'

Poor Meghan , misremembering things is a bad habit of hers

You never make mistakes in your job? Please, teach me your secrets.

This is the point. Leno M might have said something like this. I have looked him up on Twitter and he seems a very exuberant fellow. However if you had any dignity you wouldn't repeat the anecdote.

Sorry for the language above!
