Jennifer Hudson signed 'Three Stooges' movie to honour late mom

Jennifer Hudson has revealed that she accepted the offer to star in Farrelly Brothers’ new Three Stooges movie in a bid to pay tribute to her late mom.

According to Ebony magazine, the 30-year-old actress admitted that the film holds a lot of sentimental value for her, as her mum Darnell Donnerson was a huge fan of the slapstick trio.

“It’s so different from anything I’ve done. I play a nun. I feel like I’m getting my feet wet in comedy,” the Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

“Another reason I took this role is because my mum was a huge fan of the Three Stooges,” she added.

Hudson’s mum and brother Jason were gunned down in their Chicago, Illinois home in October 2008.
