While discussing his new memoir, A Promised Land, in a video with Complex News host Speedy Morman, Obama gave kudos to the Canadian rapper when asked if Drake’s plan to play him in a movie would ever come to fruition,
“I will say this – Drake seems to be able to do anything he wants,” Obama said. “I mean, that is a talented brother. If the time comes, and he’s ready…Drake has – more importantly – my household’s stamp of approval. I suspect Malia and Sasha would be just fine with it.”
The entire interview is embedded below, with Obama giving Drake his blessing at the 46:25 mark.
In 2010, Drake told Paper Magazine he wanted somebody to make a movie about Obama’s life because “I could play him.”
Drake, who starred in the Canadian series Degrassi: The Next Generation from 2001 to 2009, already has a substantial acting career in his repertoire. And who could forget this unforgettable photoshop edit he posted to Instagram in 2017.
