'Not gonna lie, I had a blast,' the Oscar winner told Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 of her iconic musical number, which strongly divided opinions.
on her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show Saturday morning that she “had a blast” doing the performance, and that some audience members like Baz Luhrmann came up to her after and praised it as being “fun.”
“That’s a win, you guys,” DeBose said. “And apparently, gay Twitter seemed to like it? So that’s good, I’ll take it. I told you, my people.”DeBose said that she simply understood the BAFTAs assignment, which was to be a “woman singing and dancing, being magnificent celebrating women,” and that’s exactly what she did.
“Honestly, it’s not like I’m like, ‘Hey BAFTA, let me in!’ They actually called me, believe it or not,” DeBose said. “But that was the assignment. Like, ‘Come celebrate women,’ and I was like, ‘Absolutely!’ We did that and it was fun. Not gonna lie, I had a blast.”
