Notorious B.I.G.'s son to play his own father
Notorious B.I.G.'s son Christopher Wallace Jr. will play his own father in a forthcoming movie about the rap legend, Star Pulse informs.
The 12 year old, whose mother is singer Faith Evans, plays his dad as a child in some scenes in Notorious, alongside actor Jamal Woolard. Rapper Woolard, also known as Gravy, portrays Biggie in his 20s. And Wallace Jr. - who was just four months old when his dad was gunned down in 1997, aged just 24 - found the experience helped him learn more about his late father.
"My mom told me some of the stuff he used to do. Like how he rubbed his nose sometimes. And then I got some of my character's scenes six or seven months before we actually shot the film, so I went over that stuff a lot," Christopher Wallace Jr. said in the December issue of Interview magazine.
And Wallace Jr. has definite plans to follow his father's footsteps, once he has finished his education.
"I'll probably go into rap. But I want to go to college. And I want to graduate and study film," he added.
