Y&R: Looks like Shemar Moore has changed his mind about Y&R!

Did he really change his mind or what was what he said taking out of context for a headline? That happens.

ETA: I just notice that the first comment was in SOW while the other interview is with SOD. Let's not forget that SOW can be more tabloidish than SOD.

Sometimes it's just best to keep one's mouth shut, especially after you said something, got called out about it, then turn around trying to make it 'right'.

[dawn9476]

Not if you are an educated soap fan and know that SOW can be more of a tabloid and if you know that things said can be taking out of context.

See that is how things are taking out of context. He didn't say he wanted to be the next Denzel. He said he wanted to be like him, Will Smith, and Jamie Fox. Big difference. Plus, he acknowledge that he has a long way to go to get where Denzel and those other A list black actors are.

ETA: And I am sure that Will Smith and Jamie Fox were saying the same thing about wanting to be where Denzel is 10 years ago.

Not so much tho. Cause in essence he's still sayin he wants to ascend to their level some day.

And while his desire to grow & improve is certainly laudable, it doesn't have to be to the detriment of Daytime in general.

They were. But they were (then & now) both infinitely more talented than Shemar.

Regardless, whatever was said was put in a magazine...He said what he said...time for him to move on and focus on what he's doing now.

[DeeeDee]

Yep. He'll remain successful (as long as he chooses projects wisely).

Wasn't this posted weeks ago?
