Kid Cudi is known for his killer beats, his captivating lyrics, and his killer stage presence. But he's also more than just a pop star! Turns out he's also got a secret weapon: a seriously impressive acting career. While we all know him from Entergalactic and other comedy roles, you might be surprised to learn that he's also stepped up the intensity in some super cool Horror films!
Cudi's acting chops have already given him some major screen time in films like One Tree Hill, and while his previous roles involved a few scenes playing, well, him. We're talking Cudi the performer. It was cool, but lately, he’s been diving into some deep, dark, thrilling stories! First came Ti West’s X, and now, he's ready to blow minds again in M. Night Shyamalan’s new psychological thriller Trap. With the dude getting back in the game for more scares, now is the perfect time to dive into his previous roles and remember just how awesome Cudi is.
Imagine Cudi in the 70s? This is actually the wild situation we see unfold in Ti West’s X. Cudi's acting skills made it work as he fully embodies a charismatic adult film star – and not just a movie character. Think Jackson Hollis, that roguish and maybe a little too comfortable Marine vet, all set against this super dark background filled with murder, creepy elders, and some serious bloody mayhem!
Remember when we mentioned that he's more than just a Musician? Cudi's background in comedy made him stand out as one of the best aspects of X. Cudi pulls off the charismatic, charismatic 70s adult film persona and uses it as a springboard to create this surprisingly interesting character. Even though it might look like he's just playing Cudi the pop star on the screen, it is far more complex and intriguing!
Cudi might be making headlines again for the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan horror film Trap. We can already feel the suspense, since the film was heavily inspired by Taylor Swift! So get ready for a scary Thriller that combines pop music, drama, and terror - something that we’ve never really seen before!
We get this wild take on a pop star’s story, a glam-filled universe that will blow minds when you get the chance to check it out! Shyamalan isn’t exactly a lightweight when it comes to Movies, and with this project, Cudi shows off just how multi-talented he can be as an actor. It seems as though the movie has pulled Cudi out of his comfort zone, which we all can't wait to see! While this time he doesn't just play a version of himself, he transforms completely and embraces his acting talents, blending that experience in music with some serious skills in a thriller, so we're going to see how the horror superstar turns the genre upside down.
When you have your heart set on a certain path - like Cudi with the music industry - sometimes it's surprising to see these artists do something totally different! We are going to be seeing more of that side of Cudi when we finally get to experience his role as The Thinker in Trap.
Maybe there is a lesson to be learned here - some music icons could be our favorite horror stars if they gave it a try! It looks like Kid Cudi might just be the man to prove that those who rock in one field might have that “special” touch to scare everyone on screen too. But just remember, Cudi isn’t trying to get rid of his music industry days to become a full-fledged actor, no, the guy just loves to diversify! If that means he'll take on a new movie genre while he’s at it, then who's going to stop him, right?
