Adam Sandler’s ‘Ridiculous Six’ Using Make-Up To Make Extras Look Like Native Americans

Date:

Adam Sandler’s ‘Ridiculous Six’ plans to use makeup to darken background actors skin to make them look like Native Americans.

According to reports, producers have decided not to negotiate with the Native American background actors and instead use Caucasian extras and apply makeup to make them appear like Native Americans.

According to an on-set pro, members of the makeup team have been darkening actors of various ethnicities (including black and Asian talent) to make them appear Native American.

One of the actors, Allison Young, confirmed to MSNBC that makeup was used on talent. “I’m full-blooded Navajo and they bronzed me. I was quite confused,” Young told the network. “That says something when the cultural advisor for the film quits because he’s offended.”

Since reports surfaced that the Native American actors quit working on the movie, a video revealed an unnamed producer telling extras, “if you are overly sensitive about it, then you should probably leave.”
