tbh i thought eminem was legit good in 8 mile and not just like a musician play acting like harry styles

i wonder why he didn't do more acting

He said the filming schedule along with making music made his drug abuse worse. Maybe he doesn’t want to risk a relapse or overwork himself again

He did ok playing a version of himself, but does he have the range?

I'm fine in this time without Eminem.

So basically Horrible Person was supposed to star in Horrible Person's movie instead of Horrible Person.

between this and mad max, sounds like hollywood was pretty willing to make him a movie star if he wanted

Terrible men really do fall up.
