Andre 3000 in talks to play Jimi Hendrix in new biopic

While earlier this week, news shook the web that a new OutKast album could be on the horizon, it now appears that Andre 3000 could be set to take the lead role in a new Jimi Hendrix biopic.

“[I'm] possibly [starring in] a Jimi Hendrix biopic — an independent film with Andre 3000 from OutKast playing Jimi Hendrix,” she told Esquire magazine. “But I don’t know, really.”
