The 15-year-old is Venus Williams in 'King Richard,' and next up will portray Sasha Obama alongside Viola Davis as Michelle Obama.
“I grew up with Venus and Serena. I’ve been inspired by them since I was little,” she says. “They changed the game in general. Not just in tennis, but literally they opened doors for young girls like me. And also they were making fashion trends that not a lot of people saw at that time, like the beaded look. And things they would wear on court, it wasn’t just your typical polo, cute shirt and cute tennis skirt. They would come out in a jean skirt, or something with jewels on it.
“I mean, we’re both so blessed that we got to even tell the story. But at the same time, I think that’s the coolest part of our job, is that we get to step into things that you wouldn’t see a lot of 12-, 13-year-olds doing. So it’s just a blessing to us,” Sidney says. “I think the pressure was just making sure we got the story correct. We wanted Venus and Serena, the whole family, to watch it and see themselves. That was the most important thing out of all of it.
“Something that I loved about President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama is that for Malia and Sasha, they made sure they had a childhood. Even though they lived in the White House and everything, it was very much away from the cameras, and they just were themselves. So that was the biggest thing that I loved. And you’ll see it in the show,” Sidney says. “And they’re very smart and intelligent girls and I think it’s going to be a beautiful story.
