There’s Only Sequel Keke Palmer Wants To Make Remake

BFOZ: Across this entire awards season, did you meet anyone that you didn’t expect to meet (or make any new best friends along the way)?

Keke: I’m always surprised by who I meet whenever I’m out and about. And I don’t know that I can say any specific names in particular.

[I’m] working, working, working. So whenever you get an opportunity to get out and be amongst your peers, it’s always exciting, because you can say, “Oh my gosh, really respect you, and it’s great to meet you. And I’m such a big fan.”

I know when I was at SNL50, so many people that I wouldn’t have even expected to see One Of Them Days were telling me they saw it and they loved the movie — from Adam Sandler to Kevin Bacon. You know what I mean? 

It was so many different people that I was like, “Oh my gosh, that’s the coolest thing ever.” 

These are people that I grew up being fans of, and [I’m] still fans of to this day. It was awesome meeting Dave Chappelle and being there at the NAACP Awards with him, and he was awesome. 

And it’s cool again, when people have seen or enjoyed your work ’cause that’s why you have it there. That’s why you do what you do.
