Plan B: I Want To Be Daniel Day-Lewis

Plan B has said he would like to forge an acting career like Daniel Day-Lewis.

The rapper-turned-singer, who starred in Harry Brown, said the My Left Foot star was “the greatest actor alive right now” and a huge inspiration.

"I would like to immerse myself in one role like that,” Plan B told The Sun. “I could do it if I found the right job but would have to give up the music and directing."

The musician – real name Ben Drew – is currently putting the finishes touches to his directorial debut, Ill Manors.

The film will be accompanied by an album called 'The Ballad Of Belmarsh'.
