Post Malone has tested out his acting chops, attempting to trick music fans into thinking he’s a record store employee as part of a new charity campaign.
Just yesterday, we saw footage of Chance The Rapper driving people around the streets of Chicago as part of a charity drive for public schools. Throughout the clip, we see Chance casually talking to his ‘customers’ as they praise the rapper’s work, blissfully unaware that they’re sitting right next to him.
Now, Post Malone has thrown his hat into the ring, going undercover as a record store employee as part of another charitable cause.
Dressed in a white shirt, white hat, a pair of khakis and glasses, the clip shows Post Malone asking if people have heard of his music, and even trying to give away a copy of his record for half-price “’cause it sucks”.
After asking some customers for advice on his supposedly amateur rap career, and even asking on gentlemen to recite lyrics to his track ‘rockstar’, Post Malone’s brief stint as an employee comes to a cringeworthy end as he he ‘quits’ his job after being ‘fired’.
Interestingly though, ol’ Postie makes no attempt in hiding his trademark tattoos as part of the disguise, and he’s spotted pretty quickly by a couple of fans. “You can’t walk around with those tattoos and be invisible,” explains one of the record store’s patrons.
The whole thing was done in association with Folds Of Honor, an organisation that provides education to the family of deceased or disabled members of the American services. So whether or not you’re a fan of Post Malone, you can’t say his heart isn’t in the right place.
Of course, he might want to work on his acting skills though, because the whole thing is a tad awkward to watch at times. With Post Malone set to make his feature film debut as part of Mark Wahlberg’s Wonderland, we’re hoping he might be able to find time to squeeze in an acting class or two.
