When Amadou Ly from Senegal was abandoned by his mother at the tender
age of 14 in New York City, life could not be more far removed from his
current status as rising Hollywood Star. Arriving on the foreign shores
of the States at just 13 in quest of a better life and education, a
series of stressing encounters awaited our young hero. When hard times
struck the pair, out of financial necessity and not from malicious
intent, Amadou`s mother was forced to leave her son all alone in this
foreign land. Kicked out onto the Harlem streets by a supposed friend,
he resorted to selling anything he could muster, such as flyers and DVDs
to make ends meet.
It's always fun to take a look back at some of the nitty gritty details associated with the newest Twilight series castmembers, and in Amadou Ly's case, he takes the cake for most unique and probably inspiring backstory. Check out the attached CNN video report:
...Actors to look out for are Amadou Ly...Ly confirmed in an interview with Yahoo movies! Monday that Stephanie
Meyer, author of the saga, wrote in a new French Coven into the movie. The French vampire coven does not exist in the books. Members of the coven consist of mates Yvette and Henri.
Henri, the leader of the coven possesses the gift to flick people away
with his index finger while the special ability of Yvette is still to be
revealed. No announcement has been made whether the coven sides with
the Cullens or the Volturi.
