Diana Silvers Thanks Octavia Spencer For Her Role in 'Ma'

Diana Silvers wears a cute bow in her hair while spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (June 6).

The 21-year-old actress stars in two new movies that were just released – Booksmart, and thriller Ma, which also stars Corey Fogelmanis.

In a new interview, Diana gave credit for her getting her role in Ma all to star Octavia Spencer.

Octavia actually called her agents at WME and declared they simply had to sign the up-and-coming star for the movie.

“At the [Ma] premiere party, I walked up to Octavia and was like ‘You have no idea how grateful I am that you gave me this opportunity, and that you fought [on my behalf],’” Diana shared. “She kept saying ‘You earned it.’”

She added, “But she took a chance on someone who had not done anything before. She’s someone I admire and respect, and I hope that one day I do that for someone else if I’m in that position.”

Ma and Booksmart are both out in theaters NOW.
