Obama Gives Drake His Blessing to Play Him in a Movie

A man like that is bound to be immortalized in film more than once. So Obama has spared casting directors the stress by officially giving Drake his blessing to portray him in a movie. That coveted seal of approval was revealed during Obama’s recent interview on 360 With Speedy Morman.

Our Forever President shared a video of himself hitting a jumper and walking off with a diddy bop saying, “That’s what I do!” After receiving a pass, and in dress shoes, Obama took one dribble and put up his left-handed jump shot.

Presidential candidate Joe Biden was in the gym—the pair was stumping in Michigan—and approv...
