Lashana Lynch has learned to embrace her critics

OHMYGOSSIP — Lashana Lynch thinks online criticism suggests she’s “probably doing something right”.
The 33-year-old actress – who plays the first female 007 in ‘No Time to Die’ – has hit back at her online critics, and revealed she actually views their negativity as a sign of her impact.
Reflecting on the criticism she’s received during her career, Lashana said: “I know that if I get stick for something or if someone doesn’t like what I’m doing, or they find me too frank or overbearing then I’m probably doing something right – or radical. In the case of Bond, I’m doing both.”
The actress thinks it’s important to be able to ignore the online trolling.
Speaking to The Independent, she explained: “The less we pay attention to [the trolls], the more we can actually get things done. And you don’t have to ask me again. You know, you can ask another amazing question that makes you feel good and makes me feel good.”
Lashana thinks black actors and actresses are often left to live on “scraps” within the entertainment industry.
However, the London-born star thinks movie studios and theatres should face more pressure to ensure black performers are given the opportunities they deserve.
She said: “The world is so used to giving black people the scraps. Saying congratulations, you’ve got your one and now we can move on.
“Most studios I’ve met with, most theatres I’ve sat in and worked in, have had their one black play, their one black film or their one black lead and they feel really happy with themselves. And they shouldn’t and we should tell them they shouldn’t. Change won’t be made with just one a year.”
