Tupac Auditioned for the Role of Bubba
Tupac Shakur's wife, Keisha Morris, recalled that she and the rapper went to see "Forrest Gump" on their first date because he'd read for the role of Bubba. Not only was he a rap virtuoso, but he was an incredibly skilled actor. He'd appeared in projects like "Juice," "Poetic Justice," and "Above the Rim." How would the film have turned out if this icon had been cast instead of actor Mykelti Williamson?
