Noel Clarke says Stormzy has a bright future in acting
- Published
Stormzy "doesn't appreciate the talent he has for acting" according to director Noel Clarke.
The rapper stars in BrOTHERHOOD, the third film of Clarke's trilogy, which also includes AdULTHOOD and KiDULTHOOD.
Noel said: "He doesn't really know how talented he is because he hasn't done this before."
All three films follow the journey of main character Sam Peel who's trying to leave his troubled past behind to live a crime free life.

As well as playing the lead role, Noel Clarke has also written and directed the latest film.
Stormzy has a cameo and told us it'll take him a while to get used to acting.
"This is all Hollywood, it's new to me, I am just learning the ropes," Stormzy said during the red carpet press run at the film's premiere.
"Noel helped me a lot I owe him a lot.
"He is a good guy, he's just gassing me up. He's the director anyway so I'm only as good as he made me."

Before Stormzy even thinks about embarking on a career in Hollywood, he's locking himself in the studio to complete his debut album.
"It'll be out before 2016 is over, I know that's vague. Growth, man it's easily some of the best music I've made," the rapper said.
BrOTHERHOOD - which also stars Ashley Thomas, Olivia Chenery and Jason Maza - is released in cinemas across the UK on 29 August.

Critiquing my performance (I'm on screen for half a second) Noel said: "Your performance was epic.
"That half a second you're in the movie is the best part of the movie. If I could make it just about the top of your head I would," he joked.
I guess the Oscar can wait.
