Kanye West Wants A White Actor To Portray Him In His Biopic

By Victor Omondi

Kanye West is well known for controversies. In recent years, Kanye’s life has been a wild ride, from taking a religious approach to his music to his open support for Donald Trump. Almost every news headline involving the 42-year-old artist is underlined by some dissension, and the biopic he’s working on is no exception.

Kanye West has reportedly chosen an unlikely candidate to portray him in the biopic. The artist wants Danny McBride, the Pineapple Express star to star as him despite being white. Nobody knows why the 42-year-old would choose a white to portray him, but that’s just a glimpse of what Kanye is capable of doing.

Everyone can see their huge difference in appearance, and even Danny McBride wondered why Kanye thought about him at this point. McBride is known for comedy hits such as The Foot Fist Way, and so, this is one of the most unlikely roles Kanye tasked him with.

“Kanye asked me to play him in a movie of his life,” said McBride, according to The Guardian. “That was a pretty stunning phone call to get. I don’t know why he wanted me to do it. Maybe that sense of ego I’m able to portray? I have no clue.”
