With his breakthrough role as Jimmy on the hit series “Degrassi”, Drake is ready to leave the ‘wheelchair’ behind and move on to the White House. Can you see the resemblance?

Drake has revealed that he would like to portray President Barack Obama on film someday.

Drake, who starred in the teenage drama DeGrassi: The Next Generation, told Paper that he is already preparing for the role of Obama.

“I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him,” he said. “That’s the goal. I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice.”

He added, “I just pay attention so when the day comes I’m not scrambling to learn how to speak like him. I want to be involved in great film projects. I don’t want to do the basketball movie that everyone does. I don’t want to do the typical black film that everyone expects. I think that I have enough experience to actually be involved in a real meaty project full of substance.”

Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later, debuted at number one on theBillboard charts when it was released on June 15.
