Lee Daniels and Mo’Nique have been via hell and high water over the years.
The film director and the Oscar-winning actress have reconciled and are now promoting their latest project, The Deliverance, which premieres on Netflix on August 30.
Lee Daniels shared through Instagram on Tuesday to reflect on his 25-year friendship with Mo’Nique and gushed about her performance in his new film.
He wrote:
At dinner here on our first press day for The Deliverance, it got me reflecting on the 25-year friendship I’ve had with the actor @therealmoworldwide.
Like any REAL friendship, it’s one that’s stood the test of times. AND BOY HAVE OUR TIMES BEEN TESTED.
From our 1st movie, Shadowboxer, to our second Movie, Precious, into #TheDeliverance, she continues to amaze me at the depths of where she goes.
It’s like she has a bottomless pit of emotions to play with.
I can’t wait for you to see her as you’ve never seen her before.
She’s Cynthia, the concerned kickass social worker. ️✨
Out Aug 16 in theaters, Aug 30 on @netflix.
The Deliverance tells the harrowing story of Ebony Jackson, a struggling single mom fighting her personal demons, who moves her family into a new home for a fresh start.
