Slaps between Rihanna and Michael Cera
Michael Cera he returned to this topic during a funny interview with the American magazine GQ, answering a strange and, perhaps, a little provocative question. The reporter provokes him: “You became more famous for slapping Rihanna than for your highly acclaimed roles. To the point where a lot of people think that slap was the best game of your career…
Michael Cera is an actor with a decent resume. Italian audiences will remember him for his role in the disaster comedy by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. This is the endin which a group of celebrities stranded in James Franco’s home after a series of disastrous events that have devastated Los Angeles try to escape.

In one of the scenes of the film, Cera slapped Rihanna hard on the ass, which was supposed to respond with a slap. The video of the incident spread across social networks long before the release of the film’s trailers, creating hum incredible.
In practice… The film’s producers did a great job with their consolidated marketing strategy: getting people talking about the product by creating news and giving them the illusion that the news was true.

I don’t know if the director liked it or if it was really that funny.”
On-set slap episode between Rihanna and Michael Cera
The last double was decisive: “The fact is that after the last take, the one that was later chosen, he grabbed my ear and temple so hard, but so hard that I had to lie down in the caravan for at least half an hour, with my ears they were whistling, and in my head buzzed. Everything was perfect, so perfect they didn’t need to add anything. Even post-production does not sound. The director claims that this was the best slap that Hollywood has seen in recent years … “
Sulfur joins the cast of a recent blockbuster Barbie like Allan, she also confirmed that she and Rihanna have remained close friends: “From time to time we hear and remember this episode. This clip has become so famous that I think that sooner or later we will have to bring it back. I speak for myself…obviously. You certainly don’t have to spank me to be successful.
