Bow Wow, who skatef into theaters on Sept. 23 with Roll Bounce, is trading up for a larger set of wheels.
The 18-year-old rapping actor will fulfill his need for speed with The Fast and the Furious 3, the latest installment of the popular street-racing film franchise.
“Me and Lucas Black are actually starring in that movie,” says Bow Wow. “Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo. It’s gonna be hot and different. My first action movie, so it’s gonna be great.”
The story revolves around a not-so-ugly American who flees to Tokyo to avoid prison for his illegal racing ways. He discovers the next level in rubber-burning adrenalin rushes: drift racing. The underground motor sport challenges drivers to accelerate through hairpin turns and then spin out of them, making for hair-raising races through city streets.
