THE ‘Where Have You Been’ singer revealed that she had reservations about taking on her first acting job as she was working alongside those who had been involved in the film industry for years.In an interview with MTV News alongside her Battleship co-stars Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker, RIhanna was asked whether she was excited to hit the big screen."I’ll answer this, because it’s probably uncomfortable for them to say no, but I was the one that was intimidated,” she explained.However, Rihanna went on to say that she was glad for the experience and developed a bond with Kitsch while filming, adding: "You know, we have a mutual respect for each other’s industry. I was walking into this as an amateur - a complete amateur."I didn’t know anything and I had a good team to learn from. I watched them, and especially Taylor, ‘cause we did a lot of scenes together and he would always offer me advice.”
