It's official, Barack Obama is ok with Drake playing him in a biopic!

In an interview with Complex, the former president said the rapper really has his family's stamp of approval to play him should a film about his life come down the line.

"Drake has, more importantly, I think, my household's stamp of approval. I suspect Malia and Sasha would be just fine with it," Obama said.

Obama added, "I will say this, Drake seems to be able to do anything he wants. I mean, that is a talented, talented brother. So, if the time comes and he's ready..."

In 2010, Drake told Paper that he wanted to star as Obama in a film about the former president's life.

"I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama's life soon because I could play him," he said. "I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don't change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I'm pretty good at impressions."

While there have been a few actors to have played Obama on the screen like Devon Terrell in the 2016 film "Barry" about Obama's life at Columbia University and Kingsley Ben-Adir in the Showtime miniseries "The Comey Rule," none have starred in a full-fledged biopic about Obama's life. But Drake has been getting ready.

"I'm not in the study mode because nobody's called me about anything, but I just pay attention so when the day comes I'm not scrambling to learn how to speak like him," the rapper said.
