Canadian rapper Drake said he isn’t finished with his acting career just yet in an interview with Paper Magazine.
In his cover story for Paper’s Summer Music issue, the Young Money artist spoke on his “extreme desire” to get into acting and revealed his goal to play the highly coveted role of President Barack Obama on the big screen. Check out a few excerpts from Drizzy’s new interview below!
On returning to acting.
“I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him. That’s the goal [laughs]. I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions. Slowly but surely, I’m not in the study mode because nobody’s called me about anything, but I just pay attention so when the day comes I’m not scrambling to learn how to speak like him. I want to be involved in great film projects. I don’t want to do the basketball movie that everyone does. I don’t want to do the typical black film that everyone expects. I think that I have enough experience to actually be involved in a real meaty project full of substance”, he said.
