    AceShowbiz – Grammy-winning singer H.E.R. is ready to “go full throttle” with her acting career after making her movie debut in Jennifer Garner’s new family comedy “Yes Day”. The star, who picked up the Best Song Grammy on Sunday, March 14 for “I Can’t Breathe”, is keen to take a step back from the recording studio to ramp up her acting credentials.
    “I’ve been so focused on making music but I think it’s time now for me to go full throttle with acting,” H.E.R. told Entertainment Weekly. “I’m working on that right now, following my passion for acting.”
    In her film debut, H.E.R. had the opportunity to sing a cover of the Four Tops’ “Baby I Need Your Loving” in a music festival scene with Garner and her movie daughter Jenna Ortega, and she enjoyed working alongside the Hollywood veteran.
    “[Garner] was so sweet and so much fun,” the R&B artist shared. “We got to improvise a little bit. It really was just such a fun environment. She told me she loves my music, which is really cool. Plus, my band got to be a part of it with me, which was so dope. It was such a surreal experience for me.”
    In addition to “Yes Day”, H.E.R. has been a part of the success of “Judas and the Black Messiah”, as her song “Fight for You” features on the historical film’s soundtrack, and earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song on Monday.

    Reacting to the news on Twitter, she wrote, “WOKE UP TO AN OSCAR NOMINATION!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    H.E.R. reacted to her Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.
    And, speaking to EW prior to the nominations announcement, she said of the movie, which revolves around the betrayal and death of Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton, “Judas and the Black Messiah was such an important story because it’s so important to black history.”
    “I was really honored to be a part of it and I had a lot of fun making the song because I was able to tap into that late ’60s and early ’70s vibe. I’m a soul baby, it’s my favorite genre of music.”
    She added, “Being able to do something really musical for it and to be able to talk about what was happening then and connect it to what’s been happening now with social injustice, was cool for me – bringing those two worlds together.”
    “At the end of the day, we’re still fighting for a lot of the same things we were fighting for then. That’s what I wanted to bring out in the song. It’s very different from what I did for ‘Yes Day’.”

      During an interview on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the ‘Peppermint’ star reveals that the tradition began when her middle daughter fell in love with Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s book at the age of 3.

      Mar 10, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jennifer Garner knows all about the subject of her new film, “Yes Day”, because she and her family have celebrated the fun tradition for years. The actress reveals she has been trading places with her three children for years, picking a day where she has to follow their lead.
      “My middle daughter, at the age of three, loved this book [by author Amy Krouse Rosenthal]… and she would dream of having her own Yes Day, so we started it then and she’s 12 now,” Jennifer tells “Live with Kelly and Ryan”. “We’ve been doing them every since – it’s our family tradition.”
      Garner explains the kids have to adhere to some “basic guidelines” for the special day, “You can’t get a dog, you can’t pierce your ears, it’s not about spending money. But [it’s OK] if they want to do your hair and makeup, if they want to have ice cream for breakfast, if they stay up late.”

      And though the “Peppermint” star admits she really gets into the fun of the demanding day, she has limited it to an annual event. “Once a year is plenty, believe me, you’re so tired,” she laughs. “It’s a lot just to say yes to everything they come up with.”

      In the new film, which drops on Netflix this weekend, Garner plays a strict mum-of-three who allows her kids to make all the family decisions for a day. She stars opposite Edgar Ramirez and Jenna Ortega.
      Elsewhere during the interview, Jennifer admits to doing silly things with her longtime assistant Maureen “Mo” Grosser while quarantining for 14 days straight in a Vancouver condo. At one point, she also talks about playing with snow. “It was just fun to be able to go out on the balcony and play in the snow,” she says.
