Sir Lenny Henry has hit out at the lack of ethnic minority actors in film and TV.

The 57-year-old comedian accused stars like Will Smith of failing to stay true to their race once they become successful.

In an interview with Sunday People, he said: ‘If a movie makes more than a hundred dollars, some black people stop being black – they become Will Smith.’

Henry also took aim at Hollywood for failing to represent a multicultural society on screen.
