Nick Cannon has been hired by Will Smith to play late tennis ace Arthur Ashe in a new biopic. Smith will produce the project, and Cannon can't wait to start taking tennis lessons so he can play the African-American sports legend authentically.
Cannon says, "Not only is he a sports icon in the game of tennis but he's also a civil rights activist who did so much for our culture... and just stood for so much as a philanthropist and humanitarian. It's a thrill for me that I get to play somebody of that stature."
The unnamed project will start shooting later this year.
