Addison Rae hits back at criticism over acting debut in \u2018He\u2019s All That\u2019 YouTube: ELLEAddison Rae Easterling is making the shift from TikTok star to actress \u2014 but not everyone is enthused about her upcoming starring role in a remake of a 90\u2019s classic. Addison Rae is one of the most popular faces on TikTok right now. Boasting over 80 million followers, the influencer has also launched her own makeup line, appeared on The Tonight Show and is even starring in the upcoming film \u2018He\u2019s All That.\u2019 While the flick has been waiting in the wings for some time, Netflix bought out the movie in a $20 million deal earlier this year. Fans got a peek at a short trailer for the modern take on \u2018She\u2019s All That\u2019 this past week\u2026 but it doesn\u2019t look like critics are here for Rae\u2019s acting skills. Much of the criticism surrounding Rae\u2019s presence in the film stems from the fact that she got her start as a TikToker and isn\u2019t a trained actress \u2014 criticisms somewhat similar to her \u201cstint\u201d as a UFC reporter earlier this month, where critics claimed she was \u201cstealing jobs\u201d from qualified broadcasters.

I\u2019ve always wanted to do all these other things that they didn\u2019t really get to see or know, because I just started being known when I was 19 years old.\u201d \u201cI try to tell myself, \u2018You have to work that much harder to get people to take you seriously,\u201d she added. View this post on Instagram Rae certainly isn\u2019t the only influencer in this proverbial boat; YouTuber-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul is also experiencing a similar situation concerning his stint in the world of combat sports, even getting into a tiff with rapper Blueface over the issue. While Addison has expressed nervousness over her upcoming feature film in the past, only time (and movie critics) will tell if her performance ends up being a hit or a flop come August 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
