De Niro wants to be a rap star!

London: Hollywood star Robert De Niro is planning a new career as a rapper after becoming good friends with hip-hop star 50 Cent.

The 66-year-old actor wants to work with 50 Cent after they got to know each other while shooting the movie "Righteous Kill" last year and thinks a track recorded by the pair would do wonders, reports contactmusic.com. "We had some good conversations. As for any future collaborations or rapping, you never know," he said. IANS
