Michael B. Jordan needs to ugly himself up if he has any hope of playing Russell Simmons in the Def Jam biopic … so says Russell Simmons himself!
We got the Def Jam co-founder out at the Dolby Theatre in L.A. Wednesday night, and he not only gave his thumbs up to Michael B. … but he thought Jonah Hill would make a great Rick Rubin.
Universal is making the flick, which Russell is producing. Sounds awesome.
