Brussels – The Barbadense Superstar Rihanna starred in Brussels on Saturday in the world preview of the animated film “Los Pitufos”, in which he puts voice to the only female character of the famous blue creatures and that will reach theaters from July 17.
With a transparent green green dress that exposed her third pregnancy, Rihanna arrived at Mont Des arts in Brussels shortly before 5:30 p.m. and was welcomed with fervor by the public despite a delay of about two hours due to organization problems.
The 37 -year -old singer and actress lends her voice to smurfine in the original English version and also participates in the soundtrack. He paraded for the blue carpet – and not red – next to his partner, Asap Rocky.
«I like to smoke because she is very hardworking like me, a woman with challenges. He doesn’t fear anything or anyone. It is a leader. I identified a lot with smurf and I am glad to hear my voice out of his avatar today, ”Rihanna told the press.
The appearance of the singer, who had been in doubt due to the death of her father, Ronald Fenty, on May 31, was confirmed just a few days ago.
Rihanna posed on the stairs of Mont Des arts, with one of the most typical Brussels in the background, and then a human -sized smurfina joined her for a series of photos.
The film director, Chris Miller, and actor James Corben had arrived almost two hours before.
On the Belgian part, Virginie Hocq, who lends his voice to Moxie in the French version of the feature film, joined the prestigious cast on Saturday and danced before the cameras.
In addition to the filming team, some 700 Belgian and international guests carefully selected paraded through the blue carpet to attend the projection.
Among them were actor Jérémie Rénier, director Adil El Arbi, singers Oscar and Lobo and Mustii, Princess Delfina de Saxony-Coburg, fashion designer Edouard Vermeulen and the withdrawal athletes Kim Gevaert and Olivia Borlée.
The mayor of Brussels, Philippe Close, told the press on the blue carpet that Rihanna’s arrival was, this week, the third most followed by the Belgians after the war between Iran and Israel and the NATO summit that was held in The Hague.
The center of the capital was dyed blue and numerous activities related to the creatures that inhabit a mushroom town were organized, such as dressing the famous Manneken-Pis sculpture of “Nameless Smurf”, one of the characters of the feature film.
The artifice constitutes an effort to promote the film, the fourth film inspired by the blue monigotes with a hat, but in Belgium they are also understood as a tribute to the cartoonist Peyo, the Belgian creator of the Smurfs and deceased in 1992.
“Everything has been prepared for weeks to convert this event into a great popular, free and accessible party for all,” said producer Paramount Pictures.
Directed by Chris Miller and written by Pam Brady, the film “Los Polufos” has the voices of Florentino Fernández and Rigoberta Bandini in its version for Spain, while the audio for Latin America will resort to the dubbing of Jerry Velázquez and Ximena Sariñana. EFE
