‘Black-ish’ Actress Marsai Martin Reveals Special Moment She & Her Character Experienced At The Same Time: It Was A Parallel Type Of Thing

With the series ‘Black-ish’ coming to an end, it’s only right that the cast begins to reflect on some of their most memorable moments!

During an interview with theJasmineBRAND, 17-year-old actress, Marsai Martin candidly revealed a moment that she and her character ‘Diane’ experienced at the same time. When asked if there was ever a moment on the sitcom that paralleled to her real life, Martin replied,

“Hopefully this isn’t TMI, but when Diane got her cycle–the week before, I got my cycle for the first time. So we both got our cycle for the first time and it was a whole parallel type of thing. It was kinda like, ‘Oh wait, I can feel this way with my character!'”

As previously reported, the hit series Black-ish is currently in its eighth and final season. The show debuted back in 2014 and stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Marsai Martin, and Miles Brown. Jenifer Lewis, Laurence Fishburne, and Deon Cole also have recurring roles.

The series has two spinoffs: Grown-ish and Mixed-ish. The eighth and final season of Black-ish premiered on January 4, 2022, and is scheduled to conclude on April 19.
