09/08: Derek Luke Talks About Playing Diddy
Stephen Whitty of The Star-Ledger spoke with Derek Luke, thanks to his role in the soon to be released, "Miracle at St. Anna." But, in the interview, Diddy comes up, as well. Luke will play him in the upcoming Biggie film, "Notorious."
Q: Of course, you're not only playing Diddy in "Notorious," he's also one of the executive producers of the film. Any trepidation there, knowing he'd be watching?
A: Triple trepidation at first. I had to go to him for myself, I needed to know, OK, what do you want from me? Why me? But he said, "I trust you, I like you, I've seen some of what you've done. Go do your thing." And that was it. If ever I asked him questions it would be, "It's cool, just go do your thing."
