A few months ago, we learned that Demetrius Shipp Jr. would be bringing the legendary Tupac back to life in biopic ‘All Eyez On Me.‘ Shipp has now taken to Instagram to reflect on making the movie and how much of a honor it is to have been given such a wonderful opportunity. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m so ready for this one.
Ships reflection says,
And that’s a picture wrap. Still can’t believe what my life has become and is becoming. Not too long ago it was just struggle, stress and trying to figure it all out. Now I just wrapped up a feature film and I’m the star, and not just any movie, the life of Tupac, CRAZY. 2015 threw every curveball possible in the midst of preparation to get this role. Thank God for giving me what I needed to keep going and blessing me with the role.
Thank you to all the crew and cast, man yall helped make this experience unforgettable 4real. I’ve made some life long friendships within this film and can’t wait til we’re all together again at the premiere.
R.i.p to Tupac Shakur, you’re a Black Pioneer and a Hero to our people and culture. I hope my performance pays tribute and gives insight to your life and most of all “Spark the brain”
