Is Drake About to Make His Big Return to Acting?

Is Drake returning to TV? The rapper was recently a guest on the Cal Cast podcast, hosted by University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari. During the interview, he touched on everything from music to sports, and even discussed getting back into acting after his current tour.

“Acting is another thing that I just can’t wait to dive into,” he said. “I think after I release More Life, which is this playlist that I’m working on, and finish this tour, I think I’m gonna really start to position myself in the acting world and, hopefully, take some great roles.”

If you don’t remember, Drake famously played Jimmy Brooks on the hit Canadian TV show Degrassi. He also discussed his audition for Degrassi. “I got high for the first time, stupidly enough,” he said. “And I had to go do my first audition ever, like pretty much I was so out of it, I like smoked marijuana for the first time.” Drake has also shown off his sense of humor on Saturday Night Live.

The rapper went on to say that one of his aspirations is to host a late-night show. “I just want to like, put on like Tom Ford every night,” he explained, “and laugh with people that I’ve, you know, spent years with in the business, in the industry, or just friends of mine, and give people something to watch every night that makes them feel good … and makes them laugh. So hopefully, I’ll get there.”
