Rihanna has said that her character Raikes in upcoming blockbuster Battleship serves as the film's "bad ass". The 'Only Girl (In The World)' singer told The Times that she didn't need firearms training for her part as a naval officer because she had experience handling guns in her teen years.
"I was weapons trained in the cadets as a teenager. I march. I shoot. I do drill," she said. "My role in the film is to be the bad ass who knows how to handle the arms. Well, that's not really acting for me. I am a bad ass in real life." Battleship, co-starring Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Neeson and Brooklyn Decker, will open in cinemas on May 18, 2012.
