LIONEL RICHIE DIDN’T LIKE THE BUST IN THE “HELLO” VIDEO

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Did you think the Lionel Richie bust that the blind woman creates in the “Hello” video looks anything like him? He doesn’t. Richie tells Billboard he told director Bob Giraldi, “It doesn’t look like me,” and Giraldi said, “We’ll talk about it later.” They shot the scene where Richie sees the bust and again he said, “It doesn’t look like me.” Giraldi told him, “Lionel, she’s blind. End of subject.” Richie took that to mean it was supposed to be a little off. However, he says it worried him to death standing next to it and he thought, “I hope the world doesn’t see me looking like this.”
