Jack Harlow can ball.
But the premise of his movie debut is that he can't jump while doing so.
The 23-year old caucasian rapper will play the role of the character Woody Harelson made famous in the reboot of the 1992 hit movie White Men Can't Jump. Harlow got the part after his first-ever screen test.
So far neither the Wesely Snipes nor Rosie Perez roles have been cast.
For those who don't know, the original movie was about two street basketball hustlers who at first try to hustle each other, then team up for a bigger score.
