Barack Obama says Drake has 'my household's stamp of approval' to play him in biopic... as pop star posts sweet pic with son Adonis
Former U.S. President Barack Obama quipped that Drake has 'my household's stamp of approval' to play him in a potential biopic.
The 59-year-old politician was on the Complex News podcast 360 With Speedy Mormon promoting his new book A Promised Land.
During the interview he touted Drake as a 'talented, talented brother' who 'seems to be able to do anything he wants.'

He hinted though that the enthusiasm for a Drake portrayal of him would come more from his daughters Malia, 22, and Sasha, 19, than from him.
'You know what, Drake has - more importantly, I think - my household's stamp of approval. I suspect Malia and Sasha would be just fine with it,' he shared.
Obama shares his children with his wife and former First Lady Michelle Obama to whom he has been married since 1992.
Several years ago Drake dished to Paper Magazine: 'I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him.'

Since then there have been multiple onscreen portrayals of Obama, and the ex-President said on the podcast that he 'hasn't watched the whole' of them.
'It’s best for me not to worry too much about how I’m being portrayed in that fictional life, because I’ve got a real life with real responsibilities,' he said.
However the New York Post reports he also shared on the podcast that he feels his mannerisms have been exaggerated by people playing him.
