Will.I.Am Sings On 'Wolverine,' Becomes Teleporting Mutant

Posted 2/21/08 3:34 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News, Video


He's a member of The Black Eyed Peas, an internationally known recording superstar heard and beloved by millions. All fine and good - but you ain't never heard will.i.am sing like this.

"Root-a-toot-toot! I'm doing 'Wolverine'!" the singer crooned exclusively to MTV News in his first interview about the high-profile "X-Men" prequel. "That's cool! I don't mean to toot my own flute, but toot-a-toot-toot!"

It's all smiles these days for will.i.am with the recent news that he nabbed the part of John Wraith, a teleporting mutant also known as Kestrel, in the eagerly anticipated superhero flick. Not bad for a guy with zero acting experience, especially considering he didn't exactly get off on the right foot with the casting director, he laughed. Bold, sure, but that's just how much of a fan he is of "X-Men." Read More...
