According to TheJasmineBrand.com, Danny McBride said, “Kanye asked me to play him in a movie of his life. 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.” The site added that He even flew to his home and watched his seven-year-old son play Fortnite!

Watch McBride talk about his encounter with Kanye on Jimmy Kimmel below:

It doesn’t look like this may happen though, McBride just renewed his contract for his HBO show “The Righteous Gemstones.” McBride said: “That was a pretty incredible day. Maybe someday we’ll make the film. Who knows?”

Wow! Would you watch a Kanye biopic if a white actor played the role?
