Puerto Rican rapper and king of Thirst Trap Bad Bunny has just joined the cast of Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming thriller Caught stealing alongside stars Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz.
The film is based on the book of the same name by Charlie Huston and is about burned-out ex-baseball player Hank Thompson (Butler), who fights for survival in the dark underworld of New York in the 1990s.
The Grammy-winning rapper joins the cast, which also includes Regina King (Guardian), Matt Smith (Doctor Who), Liev Schreiber (Robert Donovan) and Will Brill (Fellow travelers), but it is not known what role he will play, Deadlinereports.
This is not Bunny’s first foray into acting. Last year he hosted and performed on Saturday Night Livewhere he appeared alongside the handsome Pedro Pascal in a hilarious sketch in which they played mother and son – and of course he played the lead role as Gael García Bernal’s lover in Cassandra.
Bunny’s latest album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, was released last year and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and then became the most streamed album on Spotify in both a single day and a week in 2023. The 30-year-old artist also recently wrapped up his 46-date tour. Most searched tour which broke sales records in 16 venues.
While supposedly none of the characters in Caught stealing are gay, and when Butler and Bunny are in a movie, our imagination is fired!
