Drake is one of the hottest rappers out now and can seemingly do anything, rap, act and sing, but the Toronto M.C. says that it’s one thing that he wants more than anything and that is to be Barack Obama. Hold on Drizzy, that’s a feat only so many can handle, that’s like Lebron James signing with the Chicago Bulls and wearing number 23, lot to handle.
Drake told Jozen Cummings in the Paper Magazine interview that:
“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.”
Would Drizzy Drake be a good Barack Obama? Who would be a good Barack Obama? Who would be the best Barack Obama? Luckily we compiled a list of some of the finest young actors today who might be able to pull off this epic endeavor.
