The Grammy-nominated rapper and Variety Hitmakers cover star is also set to make his acting debut in “White Men Can’t Jump,” streaming on Hulu on May 19. The film is a remake of the 1992 sports comedy that stars Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. Harlow will appear in the new Calmatic-directed alongside Sinqua Walls, with the script by “Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris and Doug Hall.
In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Harlow reflected on the effort he put into landing the role. “I put the time in with the script. … I tried to be egoless during the audition, take notes, do what I had to do,” he explained. “I just want to kill it. I just want to be good, and I want to do everything I can to make it good.”
The Louisville native will also be honored as a part of the 2023 Hometown Heroes with banners of his image going up around Kentucky next week. He joins honorees like Jazz musician Lionel Hampton and former NBA player Wes Unseld.
