Cuba Gooding Jr Passionate About Red Tails

Cuba Gooding Jr has admitted that he was passionate about making his latest movie.

The actor is back on the big screen with his new movie Red Tails, which is directed by Anthony Hemingway, and follows a crew of African American pilots in the Tuskegee training program.

Speaking to Parade the actor said: "Whenever there's a story of African-American contribution, specifically in the war efforts, I jump all over it. To me, it's a healing film for a nation.

"I don't care if you're black, white, whatever, you feel proud to know that our country has created such warriors."

The movie sees him team up with Terrence Howard, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo and Ne-Yo and is produced by George Lucas.

This is the first movie of 2012 for the actor but we will also be seeing him in One In The Chamber and Broken Doll.
