Rapper DRAKE is eager to return to his acting roots to portray U.S. president BARACK OBAMA on the big screen.

The "Best I Ever Had" hitmaker rose to fame as a teen star in his native Canada on the TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation before taking the hip-hop industry by storm last year (09).

But Drake admits he's keeping an eye on potential acting projects documenting the life of America's first black president - because he's been studying Obama's behaviour and speech patterns from the news.

He tells Paper magazine, "I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him. That’s the goal… Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice."
