Danielle Brooks is currently in Los Angeles for the SAG Awards, following a demanding 13-hour flight from New Zealand where she was filming the movie adaptation of the popular video game 'Minecraft' alongside Jack Black and Jason Momoa. Despite the exhaustion, Brooks remains upbeat and excited about her nominations for the SAG Awards, including a nod for her role in 'The Color Purple.'
Brooks, a seasoned SAG Awards attendee, has previously won three statuettes as part of the ensemble cast of 'Orange Is the New Black.' This year, she is hopeful for a win and plans to deliver an acceptance speech straight from the heart.
When not on set, Brooks stays connected with her 'Color Purple' co-stars through a group text named 'Shug's shoes, we outside.' The group is filled with laughter, emojis, and gifs featuring Oprah and Whoopi, creating a supportive and celebratory atmosphere.
Despite being new to the world of 'Minecraft,' Brooks is eager to learn and immerse herself in the game. She admits to struggling with the gameplay but is grateful for the on-set support to navigate the virtual world.
Regarding her partnership with Campari, Brooks is thrilled to be part of the SAG Awards celebration, where she can enjoy the Campari Red Carpet drink. She expresses her love for the brand and hints at the possibility of a future collaboration.
Looking ahead, Brooks remains open to the idea of an 'Orange Is the New Black' reunion in the future, envisioning a return to the beloved characters and storyline that captivated audiences.
As she continues her journey in the entertainment industry, Brooks is committed to her role in the 'Minecraft' movie and looks forward to sharing the magical world created by the filmmakers with fans.
For those interested in experiencing the Campari spirit, a new House of Campari pop-up in West Hollywood offers a taste of the brand's signature drinks for those of legal drinking age.
