Rihanna Brings the Tears!

by Melody on September 5th, 2007

Barbados-born R&B star Rihanna reduced a crew member on the set of her ‘Umbrella’ video to tears because Ri was ‘the most incredible thing she had ever seen’. The 19-year-old Umbrella entrepreneur was decorated in silver paint for part of the video accompanying the hit single, and director Chris Applebaum admits the sight made those on-set extremely emotional. He says:

I had one eye in the camera and the other one was closed. And I heard this odd sound, and so I opened the other eye and looked down, and the camera assistant was crying. So after the take, I asked her if she was OK, and she looked at me and said, ‘Chris, this is just so beautiful. I just can’t believe I’m actually watching this. This is the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.’ And it really felt to me like we were shooting something unique at that moment.”
