Ghostface has many nicknames. The rapper recently spoke to HipHopDX about his new The Big Doe Rehab album and the Wu-Tang turmoil, and is now talking about a different kind of project altogether. Ghost, who released his debut Ironman over 11 years ago, is featured in the upcoming Ironman motion picture as well as Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. He recently spoke about his roles in the films and his aspirations in the film industry
“I jumped in there for maybe 12 or 16 bars, nothing too major…It was a good look for the kid because Robert Downey, Jr. recognized me as soon as I seen him. He was like, ‘Yo, Tony!’ … For him to recognize me, I was kinda surprised by that. I didn’t know he even knew about the kid. … We called each other Tony onscreen. I’m like, ‘Tony Starks, I got your jet, I didn’t mess it up.’ He was like, ‘I got the Bentley for you, I laced it up.’ I had two girls with me, I was like, ‘That’s you [pointing toward the girls].’ I sent two birds at him. It was a wrap for that scene. He’s a cool dude and funny. Big up to Robert Downey, Jr.” he told MTV recently.
Ghost is also featured in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
“We had a bugged-out scene in there, with me, Jewel, Lyle Lovett, and we did a track,” he explained. “It was crazy though. … I’ma start doing a lot of [acting] in the next year. My character on the screen is incredible. Acting is nothing for me, man. It’s all an act. Rap is cool, but acting, that’s my star. When you get me in front of a camera, it’s a whole different aura.”
