Barack Obama Allow Drake To Play Himself In A Biopic

JAKARTA - Drake's desire to play Barack Obama in a biopic was greeted positively by Obama. Through an interview with Complex, Obama gave the rapper permission.

"I will say this. Looks like Drake can do whatever he wants. I mean, he's talented, someone who is talented. So if the time is there and he's ready… "Obama said as quoted from Variety today, November 29.

Drake himself has been in the acting world since 2007 as well as a career as a musician.

In 2010, he said he wanted to play Obama when talking to Paper.

“I hope someone makes a film about Obama's life because I can play him. I watch everything about him (Obama). Every time I see it on television, I don't change the television channel, I pay attention to its voice and appearance, ”Drake said at the time.

According to Obama, maybe not only himself would agree but his two children, Malia and Sasha would also like Drake to be Obama.

“I think Drake has permission from my family. I think Malia and Sasha are okay with that too, "Obama said.

Obama's character appeared in various films and television series and was played by various actors such as Kingsley Ben-Adir on The Comey Rule, Devon Terrell on Barry and Parker Sawyers on Southside With You.

There is no biopic that tells about Barack Obama's progress in politics in full, but with Obama's memoir book, A Promised Land, which has just been released, this opportunity can happen.
