Peter Andre 'shocked' over Jamaican character backlash he plays in Jafraican
Singer Peter Andre has said he felt "a bit shocked" at the backlash over a film in which his character poses as a Jamaican gangster. Jafaican, directed by British-Nigerian filmmaker Fredi Nwaka, follows Andre's character, small-time crook Garry Buckle, as he immerses himself in Jamaican culture to con his way between London and the Caribbean island nation. The film maker Nwaka said the film would be put on video hosting site Vimeo for 48 hours from midnight on Friday so that people could make up their "own minds" about it, after accusations of cultural appropriation. The 52-year-old Mysterious Girl singer, told TV show This Morning:"I think what I found strange is that we took a process of nearly three years from starting this to finishing, and we sat with legends like (Jamaican comedian and actor) Oliver Samuels, doing the read over, doing the script and actually filming it. "And when we went to Judgement Yard, which is where Sizzla Kalonji, reggae icon, lives, and we were invited in there to do this film. The whole process, if there was any point where any one of them said to us, this is not right, don't it." "We would have stopped", Nwaka interjected. The Mr. Peabody and Sherman actor added: "That's why we were a bit shocked, because we had all the approval from everyone all the way along, and we laughed, and we did take after take, because we were all laughing when we were doing it." The trailer for the film shows Andre wearing fake dreadlocks and speaking with a dubbed Jamaican accent. The Flava singer said: "I'm Greek. I've said this before, when I see films where they play the stereotypical Greek with the hairy chest and the medallion and the big nose, and they do the accent. I find that hilarious. "I find (it) offensive if someone's saying really horrible things about your culture. And so I was a little bit confused, but I understand." The Nothing Matters singer also said that This Morning presenter Alison Hammond should act in the sequel.

Peter Andre dresses up as Jamaican gangster in baffling new film trailer
Peter Andre has become the source of confusion following an unexpected appearance in a new film trailer – playing a man impersonating a Jamaican gangster. The trailer for the the comedy titled Jafaican, which dropped this week, has attracted plenty of online attention due to the fact the singer-turned-reality star dons fake dreadlocks and speaks in a Jamaican accent. Andre stars as Gazza, a small-time London crook who, faced with a £35,000 bill to cover his grandmother's care home fees, takes on a high-stakes con job. The plan is to impersonate a notorious gangster and steal £3m, all while navigating a crash course in Jamaican culture. 'Desperate to secure £35,000 for his gran's care, small-time crook Gazza jumps on a risky tip-off and hatches a daring scam,' the film's synopsis reads. 'With just 21 days to pull it off, he must immerse himself in Jamaican culture to con his way between London and Jamaica.' The trailer shows Gazza failing at poker, learning a 'Jamaican' accent, and generally careening from one questionable decision to the next. 'All I've got to do is learn the Jamaican accent,' he says optimistically, before launching into a string of wildly unconvincing attempts. Those who have watched the trailer are expressing their confusion online, with one saying that 'times must be hard' in response to the clip. One user on X said: 'Ummm, I'm not sure about this!' Others were less subtle, though, with one reading: 'Peter, respectfully, what is this mess?' and another stating: 'There's a movie coming out with Peter Andre in a dreadlock wig pretending to be Jamaican. Is this really what we're doing in 2025?' The film, directed by Fredi Nwaka, also features Wil Johnson, Oliver Samuels, Jamie Lomas, and reggae star Sizzla. It's set to premiere at the Gold Coast Film Festival next month. The OFFICIAL trailer for 🇯🇲 JAFAICAN 🇯🇲 has just dropped!
