50 Cent wanted to play MR. T. in A-Team movie remake
October 25th, 2009 - 11:47 am ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, Oct 25 (ANI): Rapper 50 Cent had auditioned for the role of ’80s icon MR. T. in the upcoming A-Team movie remake.
The hip-hop star is a big fan of the hit TV show. And after hearing about the plans to revive the classic series on the big screen, he vowed to land the role of Sergeant Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus. But had to pull out of because the shoot would have clashed with his music schedule.
“I went for the B.A. Baracus role in The A-Team a few weeks ago but they’d already started shooting, so it would have kinda jammed things up at my end, because I’ve got my new album coming out,” the Daily Express quoted him as telling ‘Total Film’ magazine.
Meanwhile, film bosses have hired mixed martial arts tough guy Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson to take on the iconic role.
The cast also includes Bradley Cooper as Faceman Peck and Liam Neeson as A-Team leader Hannibal Smith. (ANI)
