Donald Glover's Atlanta drama
- 6 years ago
Donald Glover cancelled a night's filming on 'Atlanta' when he heard shots being fired.
The 34-year-old actor usually feels comfortable working on the show in Georgia but an evening in the city's Bankhead area was cut short when the unmistakable sound of guns being fired could be heard in the distance as they didn't want to get too close.
Donald said: "It felt like we could walk through the 'hood and people knew who we were... [Then one night] shots started popping off.”
And Donald thinks calling off the shoot was respectful to those living in the area.
He explained: "I don't want people to think life is a f***ing Disneyland and we're working, like, 'Isn't it cool that people live this way?' It's not."
