Spielberg, if you're watching on Sunday (June 3), you might want to keep an eye on Wiz Khalifa. The Taylor Gang captain is set to take the stage at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards where he'll perform his new single "Work Hard, Play Hard". And while Wiz will show off his musical talents, Hollywood may also get a glimpse of his acting chops.
"My show is evolving and everything that I'm doing, so it's going to be more themed," Wiz told MTV News' Sway Calloway after his rehearsal at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California. "It's for the Movie [Awards], so it's going to be more theatrical. ... People are going to see that side of it as well as me performing and giving my energy."
Khalifa has already done some on-camera work. Last, year he and Snoop Dogg shot their upcoming stoner comedy "Mac & Devin Go to High School." It was Wiz's first acting gig, but by the time the movie wrapped, the Pittsburgh MC could see his own progress."
I had to do makeup every day to cover my tattoos. I had to spray my hair to get the blond out, but it was cool. It was an experience, and it was really, really fun to be a novice at acting, be brand-new and then have to learn," Khalifa told us last December. "I watched the movie, and I can actually see myself getting better in the movie."
For now, however, Wiz seems mostly focused on the music. On August 28, he's scheduled to drop his sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C. (Only N---a in First Class), and fans will get to hear him perform the LP's first single on Sunday night during the big show.
Of course, tonight's "theatrical" set should build anticipation for the upcoming album and, if it helps Wiz land a new acting gig or two, he'd welcome the opportunity. "That would be tight," he said with his signature Khalifa cackle.
