A$AP Rocky is gearing up for his upcoming role in Spike Lee’s film “Highest 2 Lowest,” where he stars alongside Denzel Washington as an aspiring rapper. However, the rapper-turned-actor has his sights set even higher—he dreams of stepping into the iconic shoes of James Bond.
In a revealing cover story with Variety, Rocky expressed his aspiration to become the new Black James Bond, stating, “I think I need to be the new Black James Bond. Like, why not?” He acknowledged that he would need a few months to prepare physically, especially since he’s currently in “dad mode.” “If we hit the gym, I’ma be aight,” he added, showcasing his commitment to the role.
While acknowledging the gravity of acting alongside a legend like Washington, Rocky is determined to make the most of the opportunity. “I was born for this. I’m not gonna waste nobody’s time,” he asserted, emphasizing the integrity and dedication he brings to every project. He believes that true artistry requires a genuine commitment, stating, “People judge you by integrity; that’s how you can measure someone’s principles and morals.”
In addition to his film ambitions, Rocky is also celebrating personal milestones. He and his partner, Rihanna, recently attended the Met Gala, where she revealed they are expecting their third child. Speaking about the joyous announcement, Rocky shared, “It feels amazing… I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy.”
As Rocky prepares to make his mark in the film industry, fans are left excited about both his acting career and his growing family. Will we see him as the next James Bond? Only time will tell, but A$AP Rocky is ready to embrace whatever challenges await him in his evolving journey.
