Oh Tyrese, we didn’t know you cared so much!

According to EURweb, Tyrese has teamed up with Sprite Films, a Coca-Cola product, to coach eight finalists in their quest to become the next “it” director in Hollywood.  Tyrese said he was excited to do anything the company asked because they were the first people to give him the opportunity  in front of the camera – we all remember Ty singing on the bus in the Coke commercial, yes?  When they presented him the idea of being a mentor, it was just something he couldn’t pass up.  For his part, he says:

“The gist of the stuff that I was telling them was, we are as dreamers, perception creators and the world is an empty canvas waiting on new thoughts to think. And however way you get them out, whether it’s through clothes, whether it’s through technology, music, filmmaking, the world is waiting for us to create those new perceptions and concepts.”

But Tyrese was likely believing the words he was telling the finalists because the singer/actor/”rappper” would also like to direct films.  He said he just needs a four or five month course so he can understand specific questions because he already pretty much knows what to do and how to do it.  Well, nothing wrong with that.

    So he’s going to mentor people in something he doesn’t actually know how to do himself and has never done?

  • ChelleBell

    Someone needs to mentor and inspire him to read a dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopedia and to think before he tweets and speaks…he’s so corny and stupid…

    i didn’t know he was the “it” person in hollywood

  • Nope

    But who’s going to mentor him? If that ain’t the blind leading the blind I don’t know what is.

      Ok!!! I was thinking the same thing. Tyrese has an inflated sense of self. I followed him for like a month some years back and took him out of my newsfeed quick! Somebody needs to sit him down and tell him he doesn’t know it all. Was Spike Lee not available? John Singleton?? I’m confused

    Tyrese can’t even act. How is he going to tell somebody how to direct?
