Da’Vine, speaking about his role in Alexander Payne’s new comedy The Holdovers, said: “I’m from Philadelphia and I’ve spent a lot of time in New York, so I had to have a dialect coach.
‘I had to work on it to find not just a Boston accent, but one from the ’60s and ’70s, and then an African-American. It was difficult, so I listened to a lot of interviews, particularly those with Donna Summer.’

He said: ‘The plan was always for it to be his voice, but I took singing lessons so I could understand it and what it’s like to sing. By the time we got to the acoustic sessions, parts of the songs were me and I wasn’t butchering them terribly!’
Speaking further about the film, he added: “I didn’t know much about his story, so I spoke to a lot of his friends and family. He was an icon and a hero, but I wanted to know who he was as a man and as a father. The first day of filming all those people were behind the camera. I was so scared.’
Revealing that he prepared for the role while on the set of Barbie, Kingsley said: “I only had eight weeks to prepare, so I bought a guitar and did a lot of research.” I set up my ‘Bob station’ right behind where Ryan Gosling shouts ‘Sublime.’
