Drake Talks Acting Roles And Wanting To Portray The President

  • Before he joined Young Money and earned multiple Grammy nominations, Drake was Wheel Chair Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation, and when the hip-hop star makes his return to his thespian roots, he hopes to take on meatier roles, including portraying President Barack Obama. He recently told VH1:

    “I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him… That’s the goal. I watch all the addresses. Any time 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.”

    “I’ve been reading scripts for awhile. I want to do something great. I want to do something for my culture: the younger people who are still in tune with everything going on. I’m actually writing with my friends right now.”

    We enjoyed watching Drake on Degrassi, but playing the current Commander-in-Chief is a whole other thing. Do you think he has the acting chops to pull it off? Check out Drake’s comments in their entirety in the video below:
