Travis Scott's Shocking Nolan Role: 'I Make Music!'

Travis Scott revealed his unexpected casting in Christopher Nolan's film 'The Odyssey' during a recent television appearance. He recounted receiving a call from Nolan, who offered him a role in the Greek epic. Scott initially expressed surprise, reminding Nolan of his music career, but was ultimately inspired by the director's vision. Scott played Demodocus, the bard who narrates Odysseus' journey, appearing in the film's opening sequence. He noted feeling nervous, especially upon realizing he would act alongside stars like Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson. The collaboration built upon their previous work on Nolan's 'Tenet.' Nolan explained his casting choice by comparing Scott's rap to oral poetry, linking it to the story's narrative tradition. Scott also contributed an original song, 'When I'm Home,' to the film's soundtrack.
