Davis, who usually plays very serious, complicated characters in her film and television work, was responding to a question host Isaac Fitzgerald posed about what might shock fans about the veteran performer.
“I am a blast!” insisted Davis, who cheerily invited Fitzgerald to “have a couple of really great cocktails” with her.said her “fun approach to life” comes from the fact that “so much of my childhood I had big problems that I had to deal with every day of not having food and feeling every day was a fight for survival.”
As a result, Davis said she felt much of her childhood was lost and she wants her daughter, Genesis, to have what she didn’t — memories of “smiles and a fun mom.” The wide-ranging interview also touched on what Davis believes the future of Hollywood will look like, as well as two upcoming passion projects she’s excited to share with the world., a film she narrated and which focuses on the diabetes epidemic, a chronic disease that affects more thanDavis has an invested interest because the disease affects people in her family, including her sisters, her maternal grandmother, and her great aunt.
“I think it’s just something that people feel isn’t serious,” she said. “They don’t understand that it permeates every aspect of your health and that it is, at the end of the day, a disease.”
