Rihanna, who voices Smurfette in the new Smurfs movie, has been a fan of Smurfs since she was a little kid.

When the multi-award-winning artist was growing up in Barbados, there wasn’t much for a kid to watch on television. But The Smurfs, then a popular animated TV series, was always a must-see. “So many mornings, I woke up long before I was supposed to get ready for school just to get that dose of Smurfs,” remembers Rihanna, who also serves as producer and musical contributor for this year’s Smurfs movie. “I related so much to Smurfette and what she stood for. First of all, I have always loved makeup and hair. We all know that. And she’s an esthetician. She’s also a powerful leader, independent, strong, beautiful, sassy, witty and very empathetic. I was super-inspired by all of that. I think she loves music too and her favorite genres are hip-hop, reggae, Afrobeats, ballads and house. That’s Smurfette. She needs options.”
