Tyra Banks 'Watch What Happens Live' 2014; 'America's Next Top Model' Creator Talks Yaya DaCosta in Whitney BioPic and More! [VIDEO]
Tyra Banks reappeared for her first television interview this year, on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live with Dancing With the Stars fan favorite, Derek Hough. Though she was on hand to promote the 21st cycle (yes, 2-1!) of America's Next Top Model, fan questions took her away from that subject and ventured into subjects that have not been talked about in a while.
One fan called in and asked about how she feels about Yaya DaCosta's success. Tyra responded, "She is KILLING it! She has been in Academy Award nominated movies, she has been in scenes with Oprah in 'The Butler' and now she was chosen to play Whitney Houston!"
She continued to praise her former ANTM contestant, saying, "Yaya, I am so proud of you!" DaCosta, born in Harlem, has been acting for a long time but her time on season three helped her build her brand, utlimately catapulting the growing career she has now.
Another audience member called in to ask whether or not Lindsay Lohan would join Tyra onscreen for "Life Size 2", the sequel to Disney's real-life-Barbie movie. Lohan, who is obviously much older than the 11-year-old who starred in the original version, seems to be busy hanging out instead of working these days.
Still, Tyra answered professionally with a simple, "You never know!"
