Snoop Dogg called director of "The Beach Bum" late at night on request

• Although it seems that Snoop Dogg himself plays in "The Beach Bum", he was keen to keep a bit of distance.
• Snoop himself was the pulse of the character, "Lingerie".
• "He calls me and he tells me," I just want you to know that I do not want to be a Snoop in the movie, I want to be Lingerie because I'm smooth and silky, "Korine told Business Insider at about his death night conversation with the famous rapper.

In "The Beach Bum", Snoop Dogg plays a suave playboy who smokes weeds. So he plays himself pretty much all alone. However, he wanted to change things a bit for the movie.

"The Beach Bum" stars Matthew McConaughey as an exhausted poet by the name of Moondog who made the Florida Keys his own playground. Snoop Dogg is a close friend who also liaises with the woman of Moondog (interpreted by Isla Fisher). But Moondog and he still hear very well.

Although Snoop's character is similar to himself, he wanted to change something about him. So he went to "The Beach Bum", author-director Harmony Korine, with a name change.

"It was his only important note for me," Korine told Business Insider. "Late at night, we were worried, it was as if" Snoop had notes "and I was saying" Ok "and he called me and he says: "I just want you to know that I do not want to be a Snoop in the movie, I want to be Lingerie because I'm smooth and silky."

And that's how the Lingerie character was born.

Korine admitted that he was just going to call Snoop Dogg in the movie, much like Jimmy Buffett plays the lead role. But Korine had what Snoop wanted.

"He's playing a variation of himself but at the same time, he's not really himself," Korine said. "He just has this presence."

But Korine pointed out that it was difficult to separate Snoop's aura.

"If you look good, he's wearing clothes that say" Snoop "on the back," he says. "But there is such stoner logic that I thought," It works. ""

"The Beach Bum" is currently on the bill.
