NEW ORLEANS — Eleven-year-old Cairo Moore lives in New Orleans and landed a big role in the new film “All Eyez on Me.”
The film that released Friday is about the untold story of the hip-hop legend and rapper Tupac Shakur.
Cairo plays the role of 11-year-old Tupac in the new drama. Cairo talked about what it was like to audition for the film.
“I had to do a live audition,” Cairo said. “When I get done with it I told my mom what I did. She was like NO! That’s not what we rehearsed. She was mad at me. Then when I got it (the role) everyone was so happy. Then I was like, ‘I told you I did everything you told me to do!'”
