Taylor Kitsch believes that tackling the blockbuster movie Battleship will be good for Rihanna's career.
The singer is set to make her big screen debut later this year in the Peter Berg directed movie.
Kitsch is set to lead that cast, which also includes Liam Neeson, in the movie based on the popular board game.
Speaking to The Press Association the actor said: "It was good [working with her]. I think it's a great part on her end to work with Peter Berg.
"To come to a set like that, that he gives that freedom and that empowerment is a good move on her part."
Kitsch returned to the big screen at the weekend with John Carter, in which he played the title role.
The movie has opened up at #2 at the U.S. box office, unable to topple The Lorax.
Battleship is released 11th April.
