Usher will be playing his first leading role as Sugar Ray Leonard in the upcoming feature film “Hands of Stone.”
In a recent interview, the award winning entertainer said he still needs to loose 25 more pounds before shooting begins in October and believes his dancing skills will help him transition from the stage to the ring.
“You couldn’t find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard,” Usher said. “He was an incredible motion guy, the way he moved around the ring, and I think my dancing will make it easier for me to pick up his moves. I’ve been working on familiarizing myself with the ring, sparring and just understanding how to move in the ring.”
“Hands of Stone” will be shot entirely in Panama and also stars Robert De Niro.

Usher cover DuJour magazine!
Usher coves the December 2012 issue of DuJour magazine.
In the interview, the 34-yr-old dished on the next phase of his life, Whitney Houston and being the new judge on NBC’s hit show The Voice.
On Whitney Houston: “I knew her through Bobby,” the singer explains, referring to Houston’s former husband, Bobby Brown. “Not many people are aware of this, but his bodyguard, A.J. Alexander, was the guy who discovered me. I was just a little knuckleheaded kid from Georgia, trying to find my way, but whenever I was with Whitney and Bobby, they always made sure that I felt right at home.”
On joining NBC’s hit TV show on The Voice: “I’m a coach, not a judge,” he says. “That’s the difference between this show and the others. I’m going to be inspiring and nurturing talent.”
On what’s next: “I’m still promoting this record, but I’m also in the studio, picking up my bass, sitting at the piano, working out melodies,” he says. “I have so much inspiration that I have to get rid of it. Otherwise, I’ll drive myself crazy.”
