Singer/dancer Zendaya Coleman's decision not to play Aaliyah in an upcoming Lifetime Network biopic left many scratching their heads. The 17-year-old former Disney child star told reporters at the 2014 BET Awards that she abandoned the plum role because something was missing in the production.
“I felt like something with the production [wasn't] all the way there, the project wasn't all the way there,” she told reporters according to People. “If I'm going to do something for someone I care about so much, I have to do it the right way.”
