Watch A$AP Rocky Show His Devious Side in ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’ Movie Trailer

A$AP Rocky’s adding to his acting lore, as he’s set to star alongside Rose Byrne in A24’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You movie. The Mary Bronstein-directed dramedy released a trailer on Wednesday (Aug. 6), which finds Byrne playing a mother, who works as a psychotherapist, in the midst of crashing out. Conan O’Brien, Christian Slater and Danielle Macdonald are among those filling out the cast.

“With her life literally crashing down around her, Linda attempts to navigate her child’s mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist,” reads a logline for the film.

As for Rocky, he’s in the role of a character named James, who appears to be a neighbor who might know a little too much and is looking for a partner-in-crime to get into some mischievous activities. “Yo, crazy pants, I was gonna partake in surfing the web for some things that I’m into,” the rapper deviously says in the clip.

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is slated to hit theaters on Oct. 10. The movie was the darling of Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered, and Rose Byrne won the Silver Bear for best lead performance at the Berlin Film Festival.

Prior to the A24 flick’s arrival, the Harlem rapper-actor is set to star in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest alongside Denzel Washington, which will be released in theaters on Aug. 22 and will land on Apple TV+ on Sept. 5. Rocky has a pair of songs (“Trunks,” “Both Eyes Closed”) slated to appear on the Highest 2 Lowest soundtrack dropping on Aug. 15.

Lee previously raved about Rocky’s acting, saying he held his own with Denzel on set.

“Yeah, don’t sleep on A$AP. In this film, Denzel and A$AP go toe-to-toe,” Spike teased on The Tonight Show. “What’s interesting is, even before I got involved with this film, I always thought that A$AP looked like he could be Denzel’s son. There’s a big resemblance. So when you see it on the screen, it adds an element of father and son.”
