He&#8217;s the youngest in the movie but he definitely has an old soul. He wants to be loved. He loves women. That&#8217;s all I&#8217;m going to say. He tries to teach all the guys in the movie how to treat a woman, and how a real man would treat a woman. So he&#8217;s definitely an old soul and is very mature for his age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re paired with Tasha Smith, who\u2019s known for her roles in a few of Tyler Perry\u2019s films. How was working with her on the movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo:<\/strong> It was amazing working with her. I definitely learned a lot. And she&#8217;s an amazing actress and an amazing person. So I had the best of both worlds and I couldn&#8217;t ask for a better person to be working along with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now this is your first film that people will see you as an adult.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo:<\/strong> It definitely makes me feel good to see that people are recognizing me for what I&#8217;m doing. And this is a great start to an amazing career for everybody in this movie. There\u2019s Pooch Hall, DeRay Davis and Mike Epps. You got Loretta Devine and Angela Bassett. There are a lot of veterans in the game but I feel this movie is going to take everybody to another level because it&#8217;s like a fairy tale once you watch it. That&#8217;s why I was happy and I really accepted this role. I was able to play this character because it as the perfect character to be played by somebody who is coming back as an adult. From seeing me from when I was young and now they&#8217;re going to see me in a different light. This is the perfect movie to be my first comeback movie as a grown man. As Romeo. And like I said it&#8217;s the beginning to everything. It&#8217;s just the beginning.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7191\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/05\/jumping-the-broom-romeo-miller-interview\/tasha-smith-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-7191\" title=\"Tasha Smith\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 199'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Romeo-Miller-4-JTB-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you learn as an actor that was different from what you learned years ago? What did you learn from (director) Salim (Akil)?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo:<\/strong> I learned from Salim that the way you look at things, everybody has a particular viewpoint. And his eye for movie making and TV making is just amazing. He&#8217;s a terrific director. And that you don&#8217;t have to be a crazy intimidating guy to get what you want. Everybody on this set respected him because he&#8217;s so respectable and that&#8217;s the way he treated everybody. And I definitely learned a lot from him just from being an actor and then from a directing side, as well. And he went in there- this is his first big movie. I think this is just the beginning for him. He&#8217;s an amazing director. He has a great eye. And for anybody to pull this type of talent in one movie, it definitely says a lot about his character.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there any part of you in the character of Sebastian?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t know.

So what&#8217;s it like to be receiving all the fan fare all over again?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo: <\/strong>You know it&#8217;s a blessing. A lot of people don&#8217;t realize that it&#8217;s very difficult to just make that transition from being a kid star to an adult star. I definitely give my blessings to God, my family, my parents, my father. I think he made everything possible for me. And you just always gotta stay humble, you know. People that give you general respect. And I&#8217;m very blessed. And like I said it&#8217;s all timing. I really felt that for me everything was timing. Timing played a big key. I went to college so I could really grow up so I could go back to my craft and be prepared for this. And I feel like I&#8217;m better prepared than anybody else. Everything before has been practice for me. My TV show, and my music. I take that as preparing for the big test. That&#8217;s how I look at it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has your dad helped guide your career and life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo:<\/strong> My dad is my best friend. And people don&#8217;t know what he achieved being one of the biggest music moguls ever. I definitely learned a lot from what he is. That&#8217;s an achievement. And he definitely gave me a lot of advice. And he&#8217;s the reason I am what I am today. A lot of these child actors and big stars when they&#8217;re young just- they&#8217;re parents kind of get overshadowed by them because they&#8217;re the ones calling all the shots. Well, my dad, he always taught me to be respectful. And education was always first in the household. Not money. Not fame. Education.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7193\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/05\/jumping-the-broom-romeo-miller-interview\/romeo-chelsie-hightower\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-7193\" title=\"ROMEO, CHELSIE HIGHTOWER\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 225'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Romeo-Miller-DWTS-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How\u2019s &#8216;Dancing With the Stars&#8217; going for you so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo: <\/strong>It&#8217;s definitely been a journey. It&#8217;s one of those things where it seemed impossible at the beginning. Now we are halfway through the season. It just shows that anything&#8217;s possible with hard work and practice. That&#8217;s why I wanted to do this show &#8216;Dancing With the Stars&#8217;. I&#8217;m doing it for my foundation Urban Born.

My dad replaced me when I got an injury playing sports. And then it was just perfect timing. I finished my movie, &#8216;Jumping the Broom&#8217;. And I&#8217;m not playing basketball this year.

I&#8217;m on my toes every day. It&#8217;s really tough. It&#8217;s a great workout. And I think a couple of NBA friends will start looking at me because my vertical has increased by three inches. Now I&#8217;ve got a forty-four inch vertical. So it&#8217;s definitely a great workout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think you&#8217;re going to win it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Romeo: Yeah, you&#8217;ve got to give your best in everything in life. I&#8217;m not a dancer. I came from the hip-hop world. And for me this is an achievement already where I&#8217;m going. I never imagined myself being able to do what I&#8217;m doing now. All these dances. I was that kid at school who was afraid to dance at prom or to dance at the winter formal. And it&#8217;s an achievement for me already. But I always had a passion to be the best that I can be. So you&#8217;ve got to envision it to get to it.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7195\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/05\/jumping-the-broom-romeo-miller-interview\/paula-pattonlaz-alonsoloretta-devinebrian-stokes-mitchellmike-epps-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-7195\" title=\"Paula Patton,Laz Alonso,Loretta Devine,Brian Stokes Mitchell,Mike Epps\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 199'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Romeo-Miller-5-JTB-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why should anybody go see &#8216;Jumping the Broom?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo: <\/strong>At the end of the day you should go see &#8216;Jumping the Broom&#8217; because it&#8217;s an amazing movie. It&#8217;s the best movie this year. It has an all-star cast. And it&#8217;s like a fairy tale. When you leave out of that movie theatre your life will be changed. You&#8217;re going to have a little bit more faith. You&#8217;re going to be inspired. And I heard that when you go see &#8216;Jumping the Broom&#8217; you do fall in love. I&#8217;m just saying. Love is the key to happiness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have anything else coming up next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Romeo: I have my new album and mixtape coming out.

For more information on that you can go to my website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romeoforever.com\/\">www.romeoforever.com<\/a> or Twitter @RomeoMiller. I&#8217;ve got a couple movies in the works right now. My new clothing line is called College Boyys. And I just want to keep it going. There&#8217;s no limit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you have all this stuff happening what keeps you grounded?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo: <\/strong>My fans. My family. My parents. You&#8217;ve always got to be grateful. I just look at the real world. Our soldiers made a big accomplishment a few days ago. Anytime you&#8217;ve got people over there fighting for you I don&#8217;t think they get much love. That&#8217;s why we named our label No Limit Soldiers. I think the soldiers out there are fighting for us. For me to be able to do what I&#8217;m doing. To have a regular life, go out there and have fun. And they&#8217;re out there losing their lives, putting everything out there for us. \u00a0They definitely keep me grounded. So when I have a hard day I always just think about them.<\/p>\n<div><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"580\" height=\"324\"
