Born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in Toronto, Lyric Bent has had an amazing few months. Starring in Spike Lee’s Netflix series ‘She’s Gotta Have It,’ he’s also in this year’s new Tyler Perry movie, ‘Acrimony.’ And his leading lady? None other than Taraji P. Henson.
Bent, Perry, and Henson have been promoting the film a bunch in the last few weeks, which has taken them to some famous sets in the process. Most recently, Bent and Henson appeared together on ‘The Today Show.’
“Pretty incredible moment to be sitting on the @TODAYshow with hosts, Kathie Lee and Hoda, promoting @AcrimonyMovie,” tweeted Bent on March 26, along with some onset photos.
And when they’re not doing press, they’re taking in basketball games courtside, getting free swag, and hanging out with Danielle Brooks of ‘Orange is the New Black.’
“Great time at the #BrookylnNets game today during our day off,” wrote Bent.
Now, what’s it going to take to get Bent on ‘Empire?’
