Kanye West has reportedly been in talks with Will Ferrell to turn his life story into a movie.
Kim Kardashian’s husband has been an outspoken fan of Will Ferrell. In fact, Kanye West auditioned for Will Ferrell’s Semi-Pro but, ended up losing the role to Andre 3000. However, Kanye is looking to have Will Ferrell turn Kanye’s life into a movie with Will Ferrell playing Kanye West in the production.
A friend of Kanye West revealed that the movie might actually become a reality, telling the Daily Star: “He has been thinking about this for a long, long time and he has been trading ideas with Will.”
“Rather than take himself too seriously, he feels it has to be a comedy and not a preachy film,” they added.
Ferrell’s longtime collaborator and The Big Short director Adam McKay has also reportedly expressed an interest in working on Kanye West biopic.
I just want to thank Will Ferrell for the years of joy he has brought into my life with amazing comedy
