Earlier this year, Rihanna's 'Home' co-star Jim Parsons heaped praise on the Bajan star, describing her as 'an excessively warm person'.
The duo appeared alongside each other in the computer-animated movie, in which she plays a pre-teen girl named Tip.
Recalling the experience of working with Rihanna, Jim shared: 'It was wonderful. She's an excessively warm person, a very funny and quick-witted person.
'We had never met before, and I was taken aback at what a wonderful sparring partner she was, both in conversation and to work with, immediately.'
