Regina King is celebrating her 50th birthday today, but that didn’t stop her continuing to promote her much-talked-about new film, “One Night in Miami”.

The film, however, is also a portrait of four Black men engaging in extreme vulnerability with one another.

Regina King has defended casting Kingsley Ben-Adir as Malcolm X.The One Night In Miami director has opened up on her decision to get the British actor – who portrayed Barack Obama in The Comey Rule – to play the African-American civil rights leader during a fictional meeting with Jim Brown, Sam Cooke, and Muhammad Ali in her new movie.Speaking to Reggie Yates during a BAFTA masterclass this week, King said: “In my opinion, I feel like the best actor for the role should play the part; the actor that truly understands the role that they’re playing.“And of course I had my own moments of thinking, ‘How are people going to (react)?’ because, as you say, this conversation is going on and it’s been going on.“But up until that moment, if I was
