O’Shea Jackson Jr. might be the son of legendary rapper Ice Cube, but he is not just an actor, rapper, and songwriter. OMG is also a huge UFC enthusiast and has collaborated with UFC stars before. Thanks to his love for Dana White’s promotion, the fight and music world came together when he and Michael Bisping came together for Den of Thieves 2.
He starred alongside O’Shea Jackson Jr., and now there is a sequel to the movie in 2024 where the ex-UFC champ will turn actor and reprise his role as Connor. Before the movie, Ice Cube’s son who is also reprising his role, spoke to Kamaru Usman about the sequel, his life as a musician, and his film career.
He was naturally asked the most pressing question the fans would want to know—who are his favorite UFC fighters? His answer is Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway. Jackson said, “Justin or Max? Justin or Max, bro. Like there’s nothing like those two, you know, you about to see a good one like, it’s they not about to dance. They not about to like (laughs) work some holes like. Like your best bet is to grab them. Don’t let them get too swinging, man. So yeah, Justin, Max is my dog. I hate the thing about beating these guys, and like kicking with. It is like I take their losses to heart so much now. I will be mad at people, bro, like, I am a vengeful dog I am vengeful.”
However, he is not acting alongside his favorite fighters but rather returning for the sequel of Den of Thieves with ex-UFC star Michael Bisping. Let’s see how this collaboration started.
Michael Bisping’s acting stint with Ice Cube’s son
‘The Count’ is no stranger to Hollywood or acting, and other than putting on memorable fights, he has had a pretty impressive acting resume as well. The 30-9-0 UFC star has already starred in movies like Warrior, Twin Peaks, Triple Threat, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, and Never Back Down: Revolt. After that, he got to act alongside Jackson and Gerard Butler for Den of Thieves 2.
Bisping posted on social media, with a picture and a caption reading: “Thanks for having me! The first Den of Thieves was an incredible film. If you liked that one then you’re gonna love this one!- @johnnyghostsphoto”
Fans were excited after the announcement and said things like, “Awesome Mike, “and “You are legitimately a good actor. Let’s go Champ.” Well, lucky us because Michael Bisping is coming back for the sequel soon! Are you excited to see O’Shea Jackson and Bisping act together again?
