SNEAK PREVIEW OF TV-ONE’s ORIGINAL MOVIE DOWNSIZED FT. BORIS KOJOE & NICOLE ARI PARKER Wednesday 03 May, 2017
One of the hottest couples on the planet is gearing up for a new original movie called Downsized and I got a sneak peak to speak with them and visit the set. Boris Kojoe and Nicole Ari Parker are a real power couple starring in the upcoming TV One original film in Atlanta and I am excited to share with you all the synopsis of the movie. The met originally on the 90s show Soul Food and been together for 15 years and counting co-starring together.

As a result, Michael desperately tries to hold onto everything he’s worked his entire life to gain. This leads the family on an unconventional adventure to restore the faith, hope, and trust that initially brought them together.

ON SET WITH THE CAST
They are still filming the movie here in Atlanta. I was grateful to be invited on-set for an intimate press junket with the cast. Oh course I was slightly distracted looking at the fine Boris Kojoe. Nicole is a lucky lady. He is so humble and you can tell he loves his wife! He had a great quote, “We are a couple that works in Hollywood but we arent a Hollywood couple”. The reason why their relationship have lasted so long because they make each other a priority and do not let their Hollywood jobs effect their family. Since they met and fell in love on set, they said working together is actually easy because its something that is fluid for them.
It awesome to see this real life couple manifest themselves into a movie couple with a family as it will translate perfectly on the screen. Even through the press junket they were giving each other the googly eyes and cracking jokes with each other. I love to see a real loving celebrity couple. Can’t wait to check out this movie when it debuts this summer.
