Drake Wants To Play Obama Onscreen
By VJ, WENNTuesday, July 20, 2010
Rapper DRAKE is eager to return to his acting roots to portray U.S. president BARACK OBAMA on the big screen.
The Best I Ever Had hitmaker rose to fame as a teen star in his native Canada on the TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation before taking the hip-hop industry by storm last year (09).
But Drake admits he’s keeping an eye on potential acting projects documenting the life of America’s first black president - because he’s been studying Obama’s behaviour and speech patterns from the news.
He tells Paper magazine, “I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him. That’s the goal… Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice.”
