They're very public figures, so I guess that's the only thing I can probably safely say is there would probably be a loss of privacy. They're both unbelievably talented really blessed lives.

In this film, your character's mom is Mariah Carey and you're married to Oprah. At the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Whitaker, 52, talked about working with Oprah, the importance of depicting history and the rarity of films that comment on today's events. Seriously: Allen's son came to the set of the movie in which the character based on him dies. And two, because the movie adapts the true story of Eugene Allen, who served more than three decades as a butler in the White House, into the fictionalized tale of butler Cecil Gaines, whose wife (Oprah Winfrey) is now an alcoholic and son serving in Vietnam is- spoiler alert-killed in action. This appears ironic for two reasons: One, because "Butler" includes short mentions of the Little Rock Nine and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and many more civil rights touchstones but will neither enlighten those familiar with these incidents/people or educate those who aren't. The Oscar-winning actor ("The Last King of Scotland") bristles at the notion that history would ever be taken for granted. The dispute rises from the question of whether films that connect to current issues should look backward or directly address modern times.
