Pusha T, the influential rapper from Virginia Beach, has revealed his dream casting choice for a biopic about his life and career. According to the rapper, none other than Tyler, The Creator would be perfect to play him on screen.
In a recent Reddit AMA session, Pusha T was asked who he thinks should portray him in a movie. His response was nothing short of glowing praise for his friend and fellow Virginia Beach native, Tyler. Pusha T cited Tyler's immersive music videos as evidence of the artist's ability to fully immerse himself into characters.
"I think he really dives into character," Push said, highlighting Tyler's creative skillset. "You can tell through his videos he really dives into character, and I think he could play me." Push envisioned a film that would showcase Tyler playing him in a climactic scene where the rapper is portrayed as an unstoppable force, taking down all his competitors.
On the other hand, when asked who should play Malice – his brother and collaborator – Pusha T expressed some hesitation. However, when discussing what qualities he looks for in someone to portray Malice on screen, the rapper emphasized resilience, authenticity, and genuineness.
Tyler has had a significant acting career already, having appeared in the Adult Swim sketch comedy show Loiter Squad alongside Odd Future and playing a supporting role in Marty Supreme opposite Timothée Chalamet. A biopic about Pusha T and his brothers would undoubtedly be an exciting project to tackle, given the rapper's vast creative output.
Someone should indeed take up this offer – it seems like Pusha T is itching for a film adaptation that would showcase his remarkable story on the big screen, with Tyler, The Creator at the helm.
