Tempah reveals 'acting debut offer'

Tinie Tempah has revealed that he is in talks about making his acting debut.

The rapper, nominated for four Brit Awards, told the Daily Star that actor and producer Noel Clarke has created a role for him.

"It's sounding like the best movie Noel's done by far. It's very international and there's a lot going on," he said. "Work schedule permitting, I'm definitely down for the role. I know my part."

He continued: "I always said if I ever got involved in acting I never wanted it to be a clichéd role. I really wanted to get into a different character, so fingers crossed it'll work out. The part was written especially for me, which is cool. I met up with Noel at his agency and he explained how much of a big fan he is and how he's been watching my videos.

"He said he based the character on what he knows I'd be capable of doing. Once I read the script it made perfect sense, my sense of humour and everything. It was very thoughtful and I'm flattered of course."

Tempah explained that he had been inspired "to do something totally different" by Plan B - who appeared in Clarke's Adulthood.

"Plan B is a perfect example of someone who has made the move," he said. "When you watch a film he's been in you don't think it's Plan B, The Movie. It's the same with Justin Timberlake. At the end of the day it's down to your ability."
