  Zoe Saldana portrayed Nina Simone in the movie Nina. She darkened her skin and wore a prosthetic nose for the role and some people found that controversial.

    Is it just a black dude without any makeup, pretending to be a white dude with blackface makeup? Cuz that sounds like it could have been a great Chappelle show skit. lol

      Remember Chappelle as a white news anchor? That'd be dope when a black guy in makeup like that puts on shoe polish.

        Remember when Eddie Murphy did it on SNL as a filmed sketch where he lived a day in NYC as a white man

    Now that I think of it I'd like to see Jamie Foxx doing this. Maybe not movie length but it could be a nice sketch.

      I'm thinking he could replace Robert Downey Jr for Tropic Thunder 2.
