Rihanna`s boyfriend A$AP Rocky stated that he wants to become the first Black James Bond

What other iconic role would the performer like to play? And will he be acting alongside his girlfriend?

The rapper is not only a successful father of two children (with a third on the way), but also an artist: music, filming, premieres. And yes, he has enough ambition for it all.

In an interview with the popular publication Variety, he admitted that he dreams of trying on the suit of Agent 007.

I need to become the new black James Bond. And why not? If I hit the gym, I'll be fine. Right now, I'm in dad mode — I'll have to wait a couple of months.

A$AP Rocky

Meanwhile, Rocky has already starred in two films. One of them is "Heaven and Hell" (2025) by Spike Lee, where he plays a young rapper. The film, by the way, will be shown in Cannes this year. The other is "Dope" (2015), where he appeared as the character Dominic.

The artist shared that he once wanted to play Lando in the series "Solo: A Star Wars Story" (2018) and even went to an audition. But he failed it.

Ultimately, another rapper, Donald Glover, was cast for the role of the smuggler. But despite the setback, A$AP still dreams of holding a lightsaber.

Judging by the interview, the acting theme clearly doesn't leave the star. According to him, he would like to work on something together with his beloved, singer Rihanna , because he believes she looks stunning on camera.

But for now, family is the priority. And even from the loudest offers, he says he's ready to turn them down for the sake of his children.
