Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Booty Call”
What does Bill Cosby have to do with it?
On the surface, it would seem that Bill Cosby wouldn’t even know about a movie named Booty Call. But he did and he had some strong opinions about the film before it ever came out. When an interviewer at Newsweek asked him what he thought of the movie, this is what Cosby had to say:
[He gives that stern Cosby look.] You talk to the guys putting that image out there today and they’ll say, “”Would you rather me be waiting in the alley for you or making “Booty Call’?” I say: “”Have you looked in the paper in the want ads? There is something else you can be doing.” There is a middle ground and there is no need for a “”Booty Call,” for the stuff that shows our young people only interested in the flesh and no other depth.
