Eminem Was Picky About Doing His First Movie

Eminem tells Launch.com that he was picky when decided which role to play for his first stab at acting in ‘8 Mile’. “When I first started doing videos and this and that, people were coming at me with, like, different little movie offers and stuff, and like, seeing if maybe I could act a little bit or something,” Slim said. “And basically, we wanted to do a movie. Like, I always felt like if I was going to do a movie, then I wanted it to be first of all authentic, and have a reason to do it–not just, you know, bank off of my success or anything like that.”
