Megan Thee Stallion has revealed she is actively pursuing a full-scale acting career modelled after the trajectory of multi-talented entertainer Queen Latifah, according to music-news.com.
Speaking on Michelle Obama’s IMO podcast, the 31-year-old artist expressed her desire to expand her artistic footprint beyond the music industry and identified Queen Latifah, whose real name is Dana Owens, as her primary inspiration as well as blueprint for balancing musical success with film and television roles.
Megan has already established a growing list of screen credits, appearing in television series such as She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, P-Valley, and Good Girls, alongside feature films including the Mean Girls adaptation.
Earlier this year, she made her Broadway debut as Zigler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical and is slated to appear in an upcoming project starring Adam Sandler.
Queen Latifah has maintained a decades-long career spanning a Grammy-winning music catalogue and an Oscar-nominated acting portfolio. Megan noted that she considers herself a student and friend of the veteran star, utilizing that mentorship to navigate her own transition into the film and television sectors.
