A$AP Rocky is making a name for himself in Hollywood, moving from music to acting and showing that he has a lot to offer beyond just rapping. The Harlem-born artist stars in the new A24 film “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” a deeply emotional story directed by Mary Bronstein. The trailer has just been released, marking another significant acting role for Rocky, especially since he recently collaborated with Spike Lee on the film “Highest 2 Lowest,” which is set for release later this month.
“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” set to hit theaters in October, tells the powerful story of a mother dealing with mental health issues while caring for her ill daughter. This film is especially personal for the director, Mary Bronstein, as it reflects her own experiences and struggles, giving it a raw and honest feel that has already touched early viewers. In this film, A$AP Rocky joins a talented cast that includes Rose Byrne, Conan O’Brien, Danielle Macdonald, and Christian Slater.

While details about Rocky’s character are still under wraps, he stands out in the trailer, showcasing a quiet strength that has become his signature style on screen. Rocky’s shift toward acting isn’t just a lucky break. Recently, Spike Lee praised his skills on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” and now Mary Bronstein has chosen him for a serious indie film. This shows the entertainment industry is beginning to see him as a serious actor, not just a musician appearing here and there.
His role in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” seems like a turning point for him. It’s gritty and real, indicating that Rocky is genuinely committed to acting and ready to take on significant roles. With two major films being released in a short period, A$AP Rocky is officially making his mark in the movie world. If you’re a fan or just curious about his work, “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” is definitely one to look out for this fall.
