Rita Ora Talks Fast & Furious Role

Rita Orahas discussed her casting in Fast & Furious 6 - denying that she has been drafted in to "replace" Rihanna.

The Radioactive singer plays the "top girl" of a London racing crew in the Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson movie.

She told Digital Spy: "They needed a head girl [for] the girl drivers of London town. They asked me, 'Would you mind being the leader of the pack in London?'

"I was like, 'Of course, I'd love to'. And I think it summed up a great year for me, life kind of changed last year, so I did feel like a cool little leader when I was playing that role."

She explained that she'll be seen starting a number of races in the movie.

"I didn't actually have time to rehearse any stunts because I literally got asked the day before the whole set was finished," she explained. "I had to kind of come in and shoot it at the last minute."

And she denied any knowledge of being recruited to replace Rihanna.

"That's the first time I've heard of it," she claimed. "No, I don't know. I mean, I've never heard that."

The movie is out in the UK on 24 May. We recently gave away a bit of a spoiler about the end of the film, and the next movie in the series.
