LL Cool J, the renowned rapper and actor, has made a surprising revelation about his biopic. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he shared that he wants none other than Snoop Dogg to portray him on the big screen.
LL Cool J, known for his role in ‘NCIS,’ humorously suggested that Snoop Dogg should not only produce his movie but also play the lead role. ‘We’ve talked about it briefly but only under the condition that he actually plays me,’ LL Cool J declared. ‘I need Snoop Dogg to be LL Cool J in my biopic. I need that! Snoop, would you play me in the biopic? You can produce it if you do that.’
Exploring the idea further, LL Cool J admitted he had mixed feelings about turning his life story into a film. Although he is open to the concept, he shared, ‘I’m open to it, but I’m not gonna lie to you, it bores me a little bit. I don’t know. I have mixed emotions about it. I just have a lot to do creatively and I feel like I can do a lot.’
Snoop Dogg, who is already busy developing his own biopic, has yet to respond to LL’s playful request. However, Snoop has previously expressed his dedication to ensuring that his life story is told with the right director, writer, and production team. ‘It was the perfect marriage,’ Snoop said about his own biopic. ‘It was holy matrimony, not holy macaroni.’
Meanwhile, LL Cool J is far from finished with his own creative projects. On September 6, he will release his 14th studio album, ‘The FORCE.’ This album, his first full-length project in over a decade, is produced entirely by Q-Tip and features collaborations with Eminem, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Saweetie, and, of course, Snoop Dogg.
While the idea of a biopic might not entirely excite LL Cool J, the rapper and actor continues to thrive creatively. Fans can look forward to his new album and perhaps, someday, see Snoop Dogg stepping into his shoes on the big screen.
