Brit singer Rita Ora has jetted into LA for talks with movie bosses amid buzz over her role in Fifty Shades of Grey. The blonde star, 23, plays Christian Grey’s little sister Mia Grey in the movie based on E.L. James’ hit trilogy.
Fifty Shades is released in February and the How We Do singer has also impressed ‘Mr Oscar’ himself, movie producer Harvey Weinstein, who hired her for his new film, Southpaw, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Mr Weinstein called Rita ‘breathtaking’, telling MailOnline she is his ‘biggest discovery’ as an actress this year.
He said: ‘Rita Ora did a sensational job for me and Antoine Fuqua in Southpaw.
‘Her scene is breathtaking, because she’s a very glamorous, beautiful woman; but, we did the opposite, we made her up to look like a tough junkie who’s got a kid to protect.
‘She is heart-breakingly real and wonderful and acting opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, who is riveting in this movie, she holds her own and then some.
‘I will work with Rita again and again and again. Personally, I thinks she’s my biggest discovery as an actress this year.’
Southpaw stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a boxer trying to make a comeback, while at the same time putting his personal life back in order.
The film features other A-list names including Rachel McAdams and Forest Whitaker, and comes out next year.
A source revealed that Rita is also in talks for another high-profile role starring a huge name.
