Sean "P Diddy" Combs has stunned his fans by starring
as a prisoner on Death Row in his new film. The
musician - who faced jail before being cleared
of gun charges earlier this year - stars as a
condemned inmate in the new movie Monsters Ball
alongside Hollywood stars Halle Berry and Billy
Bob Thornton.
In the
film, set to be released on December 26, Combs
plays Lawrence Musgrove, who was murdered by a
racist warden, played by Thornton. The Hollywood
hunk, who is married to Tomb Raider star Angelina
Jolie, then falls in lover with Musgrove's widow
Leticia (Berry), despite his racist views. In
one clip, Combs is seen being led to the electric
chair by prison guards, including Thornton.
Combs
recently revealed that he hopes to one day win
an Oscar for his acting. He said: "I'm gonna work
so hard that they're gonna have to give me one."
At least this is a role for which he has a measure
of experience - he faced 15 years behind bars
until he was cleared of being involved in the
1999 nightclub shooting.
