Big Boi revealed he’d finished shooting his scenes as the legendary Berry Gordy for TVOne’s upcoming biopic, “The Bobby DeBarge Story”.
“Just finished playing Berry Gordy in the ‘Debarge’ movie @swirlfilmsig ??? coming Soon ! ?,” he captioned a photo of his chair on set.
The film, which stars Roshon Fegen as the title character, will focus on the tumultuous life of the lead singer of ‘70s soul group Switch and the eldest member of DeBarge, according to Broadway World. Switch’s biggest hits — “There’ll Never Be,” “I Call Your Name,” and “Love Over & Over Again” – were all recorded for Gordy’s iconic Motown record label.
Tyra Ferrell and Adrian Marcel also star in the movie, which is scheduled to air on TVOne in June.
