Action Bronson is one of the most eccentric men in a genre — hip-hop — packed with colorful characters. His personality is just as important as his music and as a result he has created his cooking show F*ck That's Delicious and some of the best music videos in the genre, while also developing a dominating social media presence. His music has earned him some pretty interesting fans along the way including Mario Batali and Jonah Hill, who sits down with the Mr. Wonderful rapper for a one-on-one interview for Interview Magazine.
Hill shares the story of how he became introduced to Bronson through a friend who showed him the "Easy Rider" rapper's cooking on YouTube pre-F*ck That's Delicious. Hill even says that he has been trying to cast Bronson in one of his movies, but it is quite difficult.
"I'm constantly trying to get you cast in movies. And I have to explain to these older white directors who you are. It's been a hilarious process so far."
The "Baby Blue" rapper reflects on how far he has come as an artist and where he is at his career right now.
"And, honestly, the type of artist that I am now is exactly what you say: I'm growing into myself. I don't really have outside influence from the game. I want to be totally different. I am totally different from everybody else already, so I just have to be myself. You can't follow the pack in this type of game. People write roles for you, for actors and stuff like that, but if someone found out someone was writing my raps, it'd be like the fucking end of the world. I'm just starting to get in the groove of things. I haven't totally hit my stride yet, so there's a lot more to come."
