Christopher Wallace Plays “Notorious” Father
Christopher “CJ” Wallace is following in the footsteps of his famous father, literally. The 12-year-old son of the late Notorious B.I.G. plays his father in the new biopic Notorious.
Biggie’s widow Faith Evans said she allowed her son to put his ordinary life on hold for the role.
“If it wasn’t for this project being the project it was, I wouldn’t have pulled him out of school,” Faith explains. “He thinks he’s interested [in being a performer], then every time he remembers that tutor he had on set he goes back to reality. He’s like, I don’t know.’ It’s fun, but it’s still work.”
He’s quickly learned that the work isn’t done just because the movie wraps! Now it’s time for those promo opportunities, like ringing the opening NASDAQ bell.
“He didn’t want to get up that early, but I’m like, ‘Uh-uh, baby, you go to work. You want fame? Fame costs,’” said Faith.
CJ also raps on the film’s soundtrack in a remixed version of his dad’s hit “One More Chance.”
