LL Cool J reveals who he’d like to play him in his biopic.
During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, LL says he’d be interested in Snoop Dogg playing as him. Responding to Snoop’s proposal to produce the aforementioned biopic, LL says, “we’ve talked about it briefly but only under the condition that he actually plays me.”
“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.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, LL says he has mixed feeling about turning his life into a film. “I’m open to it, but I’m not gonna lie to you, it bores me a little bit,” he said. “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.”
“It’s not that I’m against it; I’m open to doing a documentary, I’m open to the idea of doing a biopic. But it just doesn’t excite me. It’s kinda like me turning around in the mirror with my jeans on and looking at myself… I don’t know what that means. I don’t do that a lot.”
LL is also preparing to drop his new album on September 6.
“I’m just excited for [fans] to get to experience what me and Q-Tip have been working on all this time,” he said on the project. “I know it’s been a long time since I put out an album that moved the culture and gave people my perspective on where I think the state of the art should be. And so, rather than get out here and talk about what should be, I decided to create some music and show people what I think hip-hop can sound like in 2024, you know what I’m saying?”
