Rihanna credits 'buns and bad ass-ness' for landing role in new flick

London, Apr 3 (ANI): Rihanna has said that she was cast in her new film 'Battleship' because of her "bad ass-ness and her buns."

The Barbadian beauty has no doubt her casting in the new movie was more about her curves and attitude rather than her thespian tendencies.

"What do I bring to the movie? My bad ass-ness and buns," the Daily Express quoted her as telling the Radio Times.

The 24-year-old popstar added that despite having some military experience as a youngster it didn't help her in her role as she had little idea what she was doing at the time.

"I was in the cadets when I was about 11," she said. (ANI)
